Judges 13-15 Samson

I have never understood why God raised up and then let Samson die.His story befuddles me. He was a womanizer and had a problem with being wholly sold out to the Lord. Yet, once again I see the proof of Isaiah 55:8 God’s ways are not our ways, they are higher than ours. How like Samson we are! We say we are God’s chosen ones yet our lives prove otherwise. We fail just like Samson in so many similar ways. 

So the lesson for me in this sordid tale is to keep our eyes on the Lord and not on our circumstances. God will place people into our lives that seem to make no sense at all and yet God uses them for His glory. Take time today to bless the Lord and see each person He brings into our lives for His purpose, not ours.
