The story of Samson reads like pure fiction; with incredible drama; twisted relationships; and plenty of action. He was deeply flawed and troubled – but aren’t we all? He lived in an environment where his promise to God made him an outsider – sound familiar? He made plenty of mistakes. He was prideful and arrogant; trusted the wrong people; put himself in bad situations; and made terrible choices. Truth can be more fantastic than fiction. In the end; the Bible lists Samson among the great heroes of faith; along with King David and the prophet Samuel. Through Samson; God once again shows us that even in our weakness; He can make us strong.
