Judges 16:23 NKJV
Our god has delivered into our hands Samson our enemy: “When Samson pursued his ungodly relationships, he might have justified it to himself by thinking that the only harm was done to himself. Yet here we see that his disobedience led to giving glory to false gods. Samson became a trophy for worshippers of false gods.” (Guzik)
”When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: “Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, The destroyer of our land, And the one who multiplied our dead.”“
Judges 16:24 NKJV
When the people saw him, they praised their god: “The message preached by the followers of Dagon was clear. They said, “Our god is stronger than the God of Israel, because we have conquered Samson.” Often the disobedience of God’s leaders leads others to deny God.” (Guzik)
”So it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, “Call for Samson, that he may perform for us.” So they called for Samson from the prison, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars.“
Judges 16:25 NKJV
Our god!
If we are truly honest with ourselves, at one time or another in our lives we worshipped something other than the Lord. Our god may have influenced others and our disobedience may have led to giving glory to false gods, denying God!
Samson could have done much more for the kingdom of God if he didn’t pursue ungodly relationships and controlled the lust of his eyes 👀.
The question we need to ponder, how much more could we have done for the kingdom of God if we __________? (Fill in the blank)
