Judges 16

1: He seemed to be quite the ladies man.

9: I will never understand the stupidity of Samson. You tell her something that you expect her to keep secret and the next thing you know she is putting what you said to the test, implementing the very thing that you told her would be your downfall. Why do you stay with such a woman? I guess the whole relationship is based on the lie of lust anyway. This "love" of his is very superficial. Still, I will never understand the person who will stay with another when they know that they are a lier and a manipulator. Ignorance is not bliss.

16: "vexed to death" Does the bible exaggerate?

20: How many chances did God give him before he left him. Seemingly 3 strikes and you are out (he broke all 3 of the Nazarite rules), yet there were numerous other chances for Samson to change and he refused to do so.

27: In his death he killed more of the enemy than he ever did when he was alive. Yet when he asked God for the strength, It was for personal gain and not for the "glory of God" or the "will of God". God decided to grant Samson's prayer because it was what God willed. We pray for many things, but in the end, God's will will be done.

"Ask and it will be given you..." may be true, but not if it is not the will of God. Lord, help me to seek you fully and completely and make my words become so aligned with yours that we may be one. That sounds very good, but I am really just praying for help to pray well.
