Reading Judges 14:1-20 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. The way God works through all things for his purposes, to draw people close to himself and to free them. It doesn’t matter if we resist or surrender, God’s purposes will prevail, so surrender and gain victory. Samson called to begin to set the people free from the Philistines, seems to want to join the Philistine culture. God used Samson’s desire for the Philistine woman to turn his heart against the Philistines. The stakes were higher for Samson. Samson begins to tun a corner. The spiral of deciding for ourselves and the goodness of God who brings us back.
