Monday, October 19, 2020 The Blinding Factor of Sin "Then she cried out, 'Samson! The Philistines have come to capture you!' When he woke up, he thought, 'I will do as before and shake myself free.' But he didn't realize the Lord had left him" (Judges 6:20 nlt). One of the saddest statements in the Bible is this one: "But he didn't realize the Lord had left him" (Judges 6:20 nlt). This refers to Samson, who lost touch with God. It culminated with Delilah shaving his head as he slept. Samson's power, however, was not in his long hair. Rather, it was in his commitment to God, which his long hair symbolized. Samson didn't know it, but he already was in a state of decline that had been taking place over a period of years. This is so typical of a person who's in a state of spiritual decline. Sometimes, they're the last to know. That's because sin blinds us. And that's why we need Christian friends who will tell us the truth, friends who are willing to say, "I see this area in your life, and you need to be extra careful there." We should thank God if we have friends like that because we can have blind spots in our lives. For example, I know of men and women who left a loving spouse and children for some stupid fling. |
