“Then Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines.” Judges 14:1
Today’s verse begins the sad and sorry tale of Samson, a man God chose to rule His People, but one of questionable character and virtue. What can we learn from this?
God can use “Anyone”! Samson may have been the wimpiest looking guy imaginable. But when the Spirit of God came upon him, he had Hulk-like strength. God using him does not mean He approves of his lifestyle and behavior. We need to beware of using “characters” in the Bible as Moral Examples! Sometimes they are not. In time, another Samson would come, destroy the Enemy, and be the Perfect Model for us. His name is Jesus!
