* Samson was doe-drunk - Delilah tried to capture him three times - she was so obvious but he never picked up on it.

* This is what happens when a man loses his focus on God and puts it on his fleshly appetite - he loses all sound judgment.

* Samson could conquer a nation of warrior men but he couldn’t conquer his own lust for a woman.

* He struggled with the same thing David did, and it’s something all men should be aware of.

* vs 19-20 - Delilah put him to sleep on her lap and he lost all his strength.

* He was in the LAP of Satan:

* 1) Lust.

* 2) Anger.

* 3) Pride.

* vs 21 - his sin left him blind, bound, and burdened.

* Sin blinds, binds, and burdens.

* vs 24 - his sin led his enemies to believe that God could not save.

* Samson’s sin damaged God’s reputation.
