Samson: Strength Comes From GodJudges 13:1-5; Judges 16:4-30Before Samson was born, God chose him to begin saving Israel from the Philistines. God made Samson very strong, as a sign of a special promise his hair was never cut. But Samson didn't take God's gift seriously. When Delilah tricked him into telling his secret, his hair was cut, the LORD left him and the Philistines captured him. But in prison, his hair began to grow again. At a great Philistine feast, Samson prayed, "Strengthen me just once more," and God answered. Real strength comes from God, and He gives it to the weak who call on Him.Old TestamentStrength
