SCRIPTURE
Judges 16 Old Testament
Samson's mother dedicated her baby before birth to God. The baby was to be a Nazirite which meant besides a vow taken to dedicate the child's life to God, this person was not to cut their hair, and not to consume alcohol. (Numbers 6: 1-21). This child was Samson and he certainly fulfilled these conditions The Holy Spirit was within him, guided him, and developed him physically to become very, very strong, a man with enormous bulging muscles. He once killed a lion with his bare hands and ATE THE HONEY FROM INSIDE THE LION'S STOMACH! GROSS!
Devoted to God, Samson led Israel for 20 years during the dark days of the Philistines. (Judges 15:20).
Later he was betrayed by a seductress, Delilah, when she tried to find the reason for Samson's strength and had his hair cut. But his strength was not in his hair, but from God.
LESSON
Our true strength and hope is found in the Lord. "I can do all things through God who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
Trust in God's strength just like Superhero Samson. 💕
