Under Gods Command
Samson and Delilah
Judges 16:20 Having put him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him.
Delilah was a deceitful woman with honey on her lips and poison in her heart. Cold and manipulative, she toyed with Samson, pretending to love him while looking for personal gain. How could Samson be so foolish? Four times Delilah took advantage of him. If he didn’t realize what was happening after the first or second experience, surely he should have understood the situation by the fourth time!
Lets Bring it Home: We think Samson is foolish, but how many times do we allow ourselves to be deceived by flattery and give into to temptation and wrong beliefs? Avoid falling prey to deceit by asking God to help you distinguish between deception and truth.
