Enduring Word Bible- #21

Judges 15

The Lord Provides

After a few days,

 Samson goes back to visit his wife, 

and her dad says- No way.  

Thinking Samson was so mad he would never return, 

she was given to Samson's best friend.

He then offers his young daughter.

Samson vows revenge 

 this time as goes off to catch 300 foxes.

He turned them tail to tail 

with a torch between each pair of tails

 and sets fire to the torches.

Samson turns them loose in the grain fields.

 the grain reserves and the orchards.

The enraged Philistines find out it was Samson.

 They go and burn up his wife and her father.

Samson them retaliates and strikes them down.

He leaves to stay in the cleft rock of Etam.

Then the Philistines come 

and camp in Judah and raid Lehi.

Then want Samson.

Then 3000 men of Judah come to Etam

 to bind up Samson 

and turn him over to the Philistines.

Samson wants to make sure 

they won't kill him 

and then they bind him with 2 new ropes.

As they meet,

the Spirit of the Lord rushes upon him,

and the ropes melt off.

With a jawbone of a donkey 

he strikes down 1000 men.

After this battle he is very thirsty,

 and calls upon God for help.

"God spilt open the hollow place

 that is at Lehi,

 and water came out from it."

Samson is revived. 
Seems like it really was a 
trust issue for Samson.

He then judges Israel in the days

 of the Philistines for 20 years.
We don't know how Samson lives out
his relationships during these years.
But, God was still doing grace-gifting
 right into Samson's days.
