again, my thought in this parable is not yet finish..
Samson was humbled and he realized what he did. He prayed to God and asked for forgiveness. God answered his prayers and again, his strength came back. He died in the end with his enemies. Yes we are like Samson who is blinded by material things or temptations in life. But we have to learn the lesson in this story. We have to learn how to get up when we fall. We have to face our failures in reality and seek God’s forgiveness. God showed in this story that it is never too late to be humble and turn our heart to Him. We might think that Samson wasted his life because he let Delilah take over his life. Moreover, in the end, he died with his enemies. Samson’s life is still worth it because he died still having his faith to God and he sacrificed his life for God. He died finishing his mission to God and he fulfilled God assigned task for Him. We must not give up on whatever failures we face. Instead we should act like Samson. Whatever we face, we must trust in our Lord and he will never turn his back on us. As we can see in this parable, God never leaved Samson. God let him fall and He helped him to rise up. We don’t know how our lives will end or when it will end. But we have to remember that God will look for our faith in Him when we meet him face to face. Do we put out faith in Him or are we going to turn our back when we meet Him?
