Wait, Did you say SAMSON???

32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel (Hebrews 11)
Great people of faith - those who trusted God, served Him, and accomplished great things for Him.  We can well understand including the likes of Abraham, Moses, David and the prophets... But Samson? The man driven by his immorality? The arrogant kid who bullied people, demanded his own way, and never seemed to grow up? Sure, we tell our kids about him as a strong hero, but can we as "mature" adults see him that way? The writer (ultimately God, here) says so.  Let us not forget the ingredient that put him in the category of those surrounding him in this list here: 24 And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. And the young man grew, and the Lord blessed him. 25 And the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.(Judges 13)  The LORD bless him, and the Spirit of the LORD stirred him.  God had his hand on him his whole life through. God uses cracked pots and imperfect people to accomplish His will when they trust in Him and do what He calls them to do.  Sometimes they (WE!) do things He tells us not to do, and even fail to do other things He tells us to do, but the party is not over yet, the curtain has not fallen. If you can still read these words, God can and will use you, if you trust and obey Him.  What will he stir you to do today?
