Samson

We had some fun with the Samson story at the Family/Parade service on Sunday morning. The story stands in its own right, and it was good to get the overall sweep of the narrative, rather than picking out an idea from a handful of verses.

Samson - so strong and yet so weak. Like Israel, whom God chose to be dedicated to him for the sake of the world, but who wanted to be just like the other nations.

Lord, help me when I feel weak - and help those around me when I feel strong.
