Strongman Samson Falls Prey to the Beautiful Delilah
Samson was one of the strongest men who ever lived. He was used by God to destroy his enemies and do some other pretty amazing things! He caught over three hundred foxes by himself; he killed a lion with his bare-hands; he killed 30 men in one night without any weapons; and he even used the jawbone of a donkey to single-handedly defeat one thousand men!
The secret to Samson's strength was his hair. God had blessed him with incredible strength, but it was all based on a vow he made to God. It was known as the vow of the Nazarite, and not cutting one's hair was one of the conditions of the vow.
When Samson's secret was revealed to the Philistine's, they secretly crept in while he was sleeping and cut his hair. Samson's strength left and his enemies captured him. Samson prayed that God would restore his strength so that he could defeat the Philistines one last time before he died. God answered his prayer and Samson performed one of the greatest feats of strength ever performed by anyone.
Let's dig into the pages of the Bible, and learn more about the story of the strong man Samson, and his beautiful wife; Delilah.

The allure of a beautiful woman caused Samson to distance himself from devoting himself fully to the vow of the Nazarite.
The pleasure of Delilah's company cost Samson more than just the loss of his hair.
Despite his failure, he repented and asked God to help him just one more time. Of course, God did forgive him, and answered his prayer as well!

- What an interesting man to write about. While his life may have been a tragedy, he went down in history, so his life and great redeeming qualities have not been forgotten. While he had super-human strength, he was still an ordinary man who made ordinary mistakes, but made an extra-ordinary decision to make-up for his errors. Lovely! 5 stars well deserved.
