We all need trusted friends. These friends will stay with us in the good times and the bad. We know that they will honor their word and do what is necessary to help us. Even the best of friends will inevitably fail us at times. They are human, like us, and sometimes not strong enough to show us support.
Judges 15:18-29 says, “and he was very thirsty, and he called upon the Lord and said, ‘You have granted this great salvation by the hand of your servant, and shall I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?’ And God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out from it. And when he drank, his spirit returned and revived.” God’s promises remain true, even in our darkest and most disastrous times. God provided for and revived Samson, even after Samson had rebelled against God with substantial bouts of anger and lust.
