Samson’s Story Timely for Our Day in America

I love reading God’s Word of HIS account of how HE uses a woman’s womb to bring forth a person He has plans to use for His good purposes.

 

Don’t tell me that a baby (at any stage) in the womb – is a woman’s choice to destroy! You can be sure that woman will be held accountable by God, even if not held accountable by the wicked laws of the land.

 

To Samson’s mother (who was barren) God said, “You are barren and childless, but you ARE GOING to become pregnant and give birth to a son.…He will take the lead in delivering My people from the hands of their enemies.” Judges 13:3-5

 

God knows us way before we are conceived, and He has plans for our lives; plans not to harm us, but to give us a hope and a good future.

 

As we know from reading the life story of Samson, he was a sinner with moral weakness, yet God knew how God planned to use him – as God Himself was with Samson even while Samson was foolishly being deceived by Delilah.

 

God was Samson’s miraculous strength, even being Samson’s eyes (that they gouged out) so that Samson was able to bring down their great temple on all their rulers and people there to celebrate Samson’s capture and shame. But God turned it all on the enemies of His people so that Samson’s God was feared as their god was overcome and seen for what it was: powerless and evil.

 

Timely for our day in America! As Samson reminds me of Donald Trump.
