Judges 13:24-25 ” The woman gave birth to a boy and named him Samson. He grew and the Lord blessed him, and the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him…”

Even though his parents had dedicated him to God from birth in a Nazirite vow, selected as the one who would begin to deliver the Israelites from the Philistines…and even though God early on blessed his life with superhuman strength, and the Spirit stirred within him…Samson’s life was filled with unwise decisions, an unchecked temper, compromise upon compromise, unbridled pride, and the inability to control his sexual desires. But still God was able to use him. (Hebrews 11:32) For despite all of Samson’s massive mistakes, God still accomplished His plan & purpose through him. Consequentially, you may look at your messed up life today and conclude that God could never use you…that you’ve wandered too far from Him to be of any good…but all you have to do is look at Samson and know you’re never too far from God’s plan & purpose.
