And pushing it too far can lead to other troubles. I don’t know if Samson’s mother ever took a vow to keep him single as well as a nondrinker and nonshaver, the bible does not spell that out, but his affair with Delilah was his undoing.

It is clear that Samson defiled his vow; yet God chose to use him in a remarkable way.

Such is God’s purpose and power.

I find Samson an interesting character, “you can run but you cannot hide...”

Even the greatest of sinners and human failures can be used by God in a mighty way, and in that last breath they are redeemed and evidence his forgiveness through their (our) last gasp of faith.

I am a sinner as well.
