What does it say?
Samson told Delilah that his long hair was the secret of his strength. She betrayed him to the Philistines, but God answered Samson’s prayer for one final act of strength.
What does it mean?
Samson made a series of poor decisions because he was focused on pleasing himself rather than God. He was unfaithful to his Nazarite vow and disregarded the unique plan the Lord had for his life. After hitting bottom, Samson finally came to his senses and realized that God really did know best. The sincerity of Samson’s prayer caused the Spirit of the Lord to return to him. When the building caved in, thousands of Philistines were killed, as was Samson. Sadly, Samson missed out on many opportunities to serve the Lord, but God used his final act of faith for a great victory (Hebrews 11:32).
How should I respond?
You’ve probably witnessed a toddler throw a tantrum when he didn’t get what he wanted. Most of us still struggle with a yearning to please ourselves. Problems arise, however, if we don’t learn how to reign in desires that go against God’s will. Any longing that is stronger than your desire to follow God has the power to devastate your life. What are you pursuing more than God right now? Some desires may reveal a moral weakness or a willingness to toy with sin. What would your life look like a year from now if you chose to pursue God over everything else? What do you have to lose?

For all the victory and triumph in the book of Joshua, Judges paints a far more somber picture. The repetition, "Everyone did what was right in their own eyes" (Judges 17:6, 21:25) describes this dark period of Israel's history succinctly. Yet even in the midst of their rebellion, God was faithful to fulfill his covenantal promises to his people.
