A look at Judges 14:1-9 and a good look at the life of Samson. We see that there were various factors in his walk with the Lord-
He played with the world. He was drawn in by a woman of the Philistines. His youthful hormones were at work. (Judges 14:1-2)
He was a control freak. He liked having his way and was a spoiled child. (Judges 14:3)
He gave place to the devil and got himself in trouble (Judges 14:5)
God delivered him even though he was out of the will of God. A picture of God's great mercy (Judges 14:6)
He violated his Nazarite vow by touching a dead body. He killed a Lion with his bare hands. He did not tell his parents what he had done nor repented before the Lord. (Judges 14:5-9)
God was orchestrating his Master plan with Samson and the Philistines (Judges 14:4)
The word for today--Do not give place to the Devil. Let's learn from Samson's mistakes and avoid further headaches in our lives. God bless.
