In the book of Judges 14 we learn a valuable lesson between Samson and his parents that can be applied to us today. Samson was determined for his parents to do something because he had set his mind to achieve a desire. Samson was blinded by his desires and his parents could not see how God was working in the situation. Instead his parents tried to discourage him rather than asking him,” Have you prayed about this son? Are you sure that God is guiding you in this matter and have you evaluated the possible outcome?”
It is in our human nature to try and direct the steps of others but we must recall that we do not direct the steps of man. We should always be sure to fulfill our desires in ways that God will approve and trust God for the outcome. When someone is determined to reach a goal then we should be obedient to God’s Word and learn to be prepared to help serve in the future…amen
Sometimes in life we have to experience the fall to understand where our strength comes from.
