Judges 14-17
These chapters tell the familiar ancient story of Samson, strong man,
womanizer and Israeli judge for 20 years. This is a tragic story of a great man
belittled by his appetites. Have
you ever been belittled by your appetites, the desires of your flesh gaining
control of your body? Having a
bite of ice cream and ending up with an empty carton in your hand and a
half-gallon around your waist? I
guess that’s not belittled but “bebigged!!!”
One of the surest signs of maturity is being able to manage and rule
over our appetites, to subjugate them to the dictates of God’s will, whether in
ice cream or sex, our desires will always seek to rule over us. Learn to put the spoon down and your
britches up.
