In many ways Samson doesn’t measure up as a man of God. He judged Israel for 20 years and did many heroic acts. But Samson was easily distracted, and in that way he is a warning of our need to stay focused.

He started well but he was easily drawn away by women. He lacked patience and dedication. The story of Samson also is a good lesson of God’s grace. At the end of his life, God heard Samson’s prayer, and destruction fell on the Philistines.

The story of Samson serves as a call for faithful living. Avoid distractions. Don’t sell out for sex. Be faithful.
