The great Samson played with fire as he continued to subject himself to a people given to idolatry, pride, greed, and immorality. Like many, he believed he could maintain control as he refused to flee from temptation. Having become exhausted by the relentless assault, he finally surrendered the source of his great power. When his enemies came for him, his power had been removed by the Lord. They overcame him, gouged out his eyes and chained him in the prison. Many today have eaten the fruit of their own devices and found themselves chained in misery. However, it was in the prison that Samson began to humble himself and once again return to the true God. Maybe you have drifted far from the Lord, and the time has come to once again call upon His great Name.
