>Judges 16
>Samson is subdued and later dies in his final act of resistance.
>
>INSIGHT
>"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he
>will also reap" (Galatians 6:7). Samson's lustful foolishness finally
>catches up with him, and in a profound example of bad judgment, he
>discloses the secret of his strength to a woman who had betrayed him
>repeatedly.
>Samson violates his Nazarite vow, and all his power leaves him. His eyes
>are gouged out and he dies, not avenging the Lord against the
>Philistines but avenging the loss of his own eyes. It is a heartbreaking
>conclusion to a life that is tragic-tragic not only because of what it
>was, but even more for what it could have been.
>
>PRAYER
>• Thank the Lord and give Him your praise. By His grace, we can escape
>consequences similar to those Samson experienced by living for Him:
>I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, In the assembly of the
>upright and in the congregation. . . .
>His work is honorable and glorious,
>And His righteousness endures forever.
>The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
>A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
>His praise endures forever
>(Psalm 111:1, 3, 10).
>
>• Pause for praise and thanksgiving. Pray this confession to the Lord as
>you seek to keep your life free from sin:
>Surely He has borne our griefs
>And carried our sorrows;
>Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
>Smitten by God, and afflicted.
>But He was wounded for our transgressions,
>He was bruised for our iniquities;
>The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
>And by His stripes we are healed
>(Isaiah 53:4-5).
>
>• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pause
>to pray this affirmation to the Lord:
>"This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and
>Jesus Christ whom You have sent" (John 17:3).
>• As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for:
>• greater love for the lost,
>• mission work in Africa,
>• whatever else is on your heart.
>• Finally, offer this closing prayer:
>Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
>that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans
>15:13).

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
