Samson's ministry is a demonstration of the patience of God as much as the fallenness of man. God accomplished incredible things through his life. Yet the greatest challenge he ever faced is the same as ours. He was a sinner in the hands of a gracious and patient God.

1. Our fallen sinful nature is a bigger obstacle between us and God than the devil.

2. A proactive pursuit of God is the only answer to temptation or spiritual atrophy.

3. No area of your walk with God should be explainable apart from the grace of God.
