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 he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkore; it is at Lehi to this day. And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

Judges 15:18-20

LORD, my heart is grateful for the privilege of serving You and being used by You to accomplish Your will in both my life and the lives of others. Through the work of Your Holy Spirit I have been a party to the transformation of lives, and have seen how You can take bad situations and turn them for good. You have taken the little that I am capable of and have used it to do great things. I am overwhelmed how You can use me to do what You do. LORD, I pray today for a spirit of humility, remembering that it has never been me but has always been You. I know that I can sometimes think that I am doing it. Yet, it is always You working through me. Keep me mindful of this fact. Also, it is my prayer that You would help me not to have an arrogant spirit towards Your provision, acting as if You owe me something, almost as if You are indebted to me. LORD, it is I who is indebted to You. Keep ever before me that it is only by Your grace that I am able to stand, and help me to respond appropriately that You might be glorified at all times in Jesus’ Name.
