Samson was a hero who quickly turned into a zero. As you look at Samson, you begin to see him as a tragedy of what might have been. He was a man who was, literally, leveled by lust.

Let’s look at how Samson started his life. The Bible says in Judges 13:24, “So the woman bore a son and called his name Samson, and the child grew and the Lord blessed him.”

Judges 13:25, “And the spirit of the Lord began to move upon him (talking about Samson) at Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.”

God had a purpose for Samson. Yet, Satan notices bright spots for God and starts to work on putting out the light.
