Patterns

 

This morning, I was reading about Samson in Judges 14. He’d found a girl he wanted to marry. At the feast, he posed a riddle to the 30 young groomsmen and promised them a change of clothes if they could solve his riddle.  If they didn’t solve it, they had to give him 30 changes of clothing. They couldn’t solve it.  But they threatened his fiancĂ© and she cajoled Samson until he relented and gave her the answer.  She told the groomsmen and Samson then killed 30 men of Ashkelon and gave their clothing to these groomsmen.  

My thought was this…
This became a pattern in Samson’s life.  He later did the same thing with Delilah!   He told her the secret of his strength when she seduced him and then lost that strength when she cut his hair. 

What is a pattern in my life?!?

I only had to ask the question…and God quickly answered.
