Enduring Word Bible- The Samson Series- 6

Enduring Word Bible- #23

Judges 16

The Death of Samson

Things continue to spiral down 

for Samson as the lords of the Philistines

 gather to sacrifice to Dagon.

They finally have Samson.

They call him out of the prison

 to entertain them.

Then Samson asks the young man

 that holds his hand to lead him

to the pillars that hold up the house.

There are about 3000 men and women

 in the building and on the roof.

Then Samson calls out to the Lord-

"remember me and strengthen me

 this once, O God."

With a great display of strength-

 Samson brings down the building-

 killing all the people, including himself.

At this one event Samson killed more

 at his death than in all of his life.

His brothers and family came 

and took him to bury him

 with his father, Manoah.

The Lord used a flawed man

 to work His plan.

Samson certainly is a reminder to each of us, 

strong and weak, 

that we are vessels the Lord 

can use to fulfill His Kingdom purpose.

One of the amazing things of this past week

 was the God Moment at our

 Grace Pace Wellness retreat.

As we drove into Branson, Mo, 

I couldn't believe the billboards 

and all the signs for the 

2018 Sight and Sound Show- Samson. 

I had finished reading and meditating

 on the story of Samson, 

  in the two weeks before we left for our trip.

The margins were done 

and set to post during our week in Branson.

What a wonderful experience 

to see the Samson show.

It was very well done.

Just another sign of how clearly 

our Lord can fine- tune our lives.
