SAMSON :
MISUSING GOD'S GIFTS
Memory Selection: "He that is
slow to anger is better than the
mighty; and he that ruleth his
spirit than he that taketh a city."
(Proverbs 16:32)
Lesson Text: Judges 13:2 to
16:31.
Today our story centers around
Samson; it will endeavor to prove
the truth that misuse of God-given
gifts can cause strangement from
God, and spiritual deterioration.
While the Bible is considered to
be wiWtoii in English In its pur
est form and certainly no one
can dan the beauty of expres
sion of many of its passages it
ia sometimes necessary to read
and re-read to digest the context;
certainly there ia much repitition,
which may prove to be sometimes
confusing.
The mind has to translate par
able after parable, to arrive at
the essential truth of the message
contained therein; however, one
thing the Bible did not do and
that was present its characters fa
the epitome of perfection. Rath
er, it presents them in complete
and utter frankness. They were
mortals, and therefore heir to ail
mortal failings in some form or
another. They were beset with
temptations, juet as we axe today.
What their reactions were, and the
results of those decisions, contain
lesson after lesson for mankind.
Samson was blessed of God; he
had superhuman strength. This
lasted just so long as God's guid
ance was obeyed that no razor
would touch his head.
However, Samson fell in love
with Delilah, and, loving her, fi
nally confessed to her the source
of his trength . . . his locks.
Delilah (for purposes of her
own) betrayed his confidence to
the Philistines, who cut Samson's
hair while he was asleep . . . .
"and his strength departed from
him."
Lord, his whole early Hfe revolv
ed around the preparation of his
ofcswacter for the grant destiny
laid out for him by Ood . . . "he
shall begin to deliver Israel out
of the hand of the Philistines . .
Endowed by God with a afarong
and healthy body, a sunny dispo
sition bom to ha a leader
among men, with a brilliant fu
ture Samson, nevertheless
squandered his birthright through
an inherent flaw In lite nature; he
waa completely serf -centered and
witfull, living for the day alone,
for his desires alone. He made the
same mistake so many of us still
make today. Our attributes do
not belong to us, by mare virtue
of our being; they ara God-given
gifts, and we are charged, both
mortally and spiritually, to treat
them as such, and use them wisely.

Samson's fate was ignominous,
for he was bound in chains, and
had his eyes put out. And, oddly
enough, it was only when Samson
became blind, that he began real
ly to see; it was only when he
was fettered in chains that he be
gan to be really free! Samson
began to learn . . the hard way
. . . as so many of us have to do!
As we have remarked before,
God uses imperfect instniuments
for his teaching. Certainly Sam
son had every advantage in his
early life. Born to God-fearing
and deeply religious parents, who
accepted instruction from the
'Samson was by no means a man
who did not know God; rather he
was a man dedicated to God's
service, but who, through human
weaknesses and failings, failed to
measure up to God's standards.
Therein lies the true tragedy of
the story of Samson. Let it be to
his everlasting credit, though,
that as his final hours drew near,
he remembered the source of his
strength; he repented of his sins,
and called on God to remember
him. We can be sure God did, in
deed, remember his servant, weak
and foolish though he had been.
And so, from the story of Samson
we draw warning . . . and hope!
