04.05.2016 Old Testament: Jdg 16.1

To read the Bible in a year, read Judges 15–17 on April 5, In the year of our Lord 2016

By Don Ruhl

Numerous people object to the Lord using someone like Samson. They question how the Lord could use someone who did things like the following,

Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her (Judges 16.1).

Did you know that Hebrews 11 lists Samson as an example of faith. Yes, he also sinned, but what man has lived on the Earth and not sinned? Oh, one did exist, but we killed Him!

Whether you are perfect like the Lord Jesus Christ, or imperfect like Samson, the Lord can use you and He is using you, whether you realize it or not. That does not mean we can continue in sin, for the Lord may use us for someone else’s sake, but we want to be saved also. Therefore, let us repent of our sin.

Questions:

• Does the Lord know how to run the world?
• If you believe He does, why then question His choices?
