Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 10th February 2026 (Tuesday) Message
TOPIC: The Source of Your Strength
So he told her everything. “No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.”
— Judges 16:17 (NIV)
You may remember the Old Testament story of Samson, the Nazirite man who did not cut his hair. Not cutting his hair was part of his Nazirite vow, but it was also the secret of his tremendous physical strength.
Samson led the nation of Israel for 20 years, and his enemies, the Philistines, were curious about the source of his strength. When he fell in love with Delilah, the Philistine leaders said to her, See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him (Judges 16:5 AMP).

Samson refused to tell her his secret many times when she asked him about it, but he ultimately gave in to her. After he told her, she shaved his head, and his strength disappeared.
You also have a source of strength. It’s not in your hair or in any earthly belonging or physical or mental trait. It’s in Christ alone. When you need strength, don’t seek it in any worldly source. Ask God to empower you to do whatever you need to do. He will always come through for you.
Prayer of the Day: Father, may I always look to You for the strength I need, knowing that I will find everything I need in You. In Jesus’ name, amen
