May 2, 2012 – Judges 16

You really have to wonder why Samson kept Delilah around.  He really had no reason to trust her and he knew what she was going to do.  Looking at it another way, this is how God was going to use Samson to destroy the Philistine leadership.  God’s plan was to allow Samson to get captured and then destroy the arena.  We also don’t hear about what happened to Delilah.  It doesn’t say that she was in the arena when it was destroyed.  For all we know, she took her riches and lived happily ever after. 

If you have seen Veggie Tales, Samson’s Hairbrush, you will know that Samson’s strength was not in his hair, but in God.  Notice that it doesn’t say Samson realizes that his hair was cut but that the Lord had left him.
