Samson: God who fights Chapter 6


 "But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved." Judges 16:22


It is interesting to discover that when God appointed you from the womb, is He faithful to complete your mission? 


Yes. God is faithful until the end. It is the truthfulness of God even when a man fails, God is faithful and true. It is His very nature.


Maybe it's over for Samson and his enemies to celebrate his captivity and downfall to their hands. What the enemies do not know is when God left him when he had a haircut, God also went back to him when his hair grew again and the fooled enemy forgot to shave it. LOL😊


Samson may spilled his secrets of ending his God-given strength but did not completely give in details on how to permanently end it and kept him as a token of entertainment. He may have not known that he may gain his strength back if his hair grows back again. Samson must have only known this when his painful test of losing strength happened. But take note, in Judges 16:28 clearly stated: Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.” 


God remembers. Yes, it is also true. We His children are just a prayer away. He listens and never walks away. He may have left and kept a distance when sin is all over us but God never leaves nor forsakes His chosen ones. He will do what you ask even if it a revenge on your enemies. Samson took it personally this time to avenge himself on his enemies with whom he fell in love, gorged his eyes, and did nothing good to him. They offered Samson alive and suffering to their Dagon god. It is the worst time of Samson's life.


For one last time, Delilah was looking at him, Samson warned her to go away and live a good life. Delilah did not listen so when the 2 pillars were destroyed, Delilah also died with Samson and many others. It has been said that when Samson died, he killed so many Philistines more than he killed before when he was alive.


When God fights, Samson is the man and he fulfills it till the very end.
