We’re in our summer of stories series. We’ve been talking about Samson. Last week, Brad Nutt, pastor of Fort William Baptist Church in Thunder Bay, Ontario, led us through Judges 13, where we read Samson’s birth story. There was a lot in that podcast about how we should apply Judges and the story of Samson’s birth to our own lives. That chapter leads the reader to expect great things from Samson. He is a man who, according to the angel, is to be marked by holiness to the Lord. Instead, as we read today, this man is tortured by his own unsatisfied lusts. But Yahweh, in spite of Samson’s madness, is using this man. He is getting his way.
