Judges 16:4 BSB
“Samson fell in love again and fell for a woman completely wrong for him. This is another example of the pain and ruin that came into Samson’s life because he did not guard his heart.” (Guzik)
”The Lords of the Philistines went to her and said, “Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can overpower him to tie him up and subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”“
Judges 16:5 BSB
“Delilah was also deeply in love; but she was in love with money, not Samson. 1,100 shekels made up more than 140 pounds (63 kilograms) of silver.” (Guzik)
Many of us are as guilty as Samson for failing in love with a woman or man that is completely wrong for us. The current divorce rates are a statistic that confirms incompatibility but many of the younger generation are forgoing marriage and simply cohabiting with someone and breakup and leave when things don’t go as well as expected.
Without the Lord Jesus as the center of your life and your moral compass, where can you turn when relationships sour?
Blessings
