* Samson’s secret was that he was dedicated to God from birth.

* The symbol of that dedication was his hair.

* A married man is dedicated to his wife, and the symbol of that dedication is his ring.

* What would it signify if he went on a long trip and took his ring off?

* It would reveal that he’s already forsook his dedication to his wife.

* Would she stick around for a guy like that? Nope!

* When Samson allowed his hair to be cut he was taking his ring off, essentially.

* God didn’t stick around, and Samson lost the source of his strength.

* Why would he do this?

* Because he wanted sex. He wanted to fulfill his own lust.

* He was “doe drunk!”

* Men - don’t let yourself forsake your dedication to God, spouse, kids, or anything else because you can’t stop focusing on the lust of the flesh.

* You’ll end up dead just as Samson was.
