1 Sam. 11 [The Message]

Yes, Saul was head and shoulders above the normal Israelites, but when God’s Spirit came upon him, he became almost super-human. He rallied Israel to war with the oppressing Ammonites and routed them handily. Samson also experienced this super-human power when God infused him. David, the meek shepherd boy killed a lion and a bear when God’s Spirit came upon him. Peter rose to courageously preach to a large group in Acts 1-2.

“But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” [Dan. 11:32b]

Now THIS is a verse to memorize and lean upon.
