Today, in Judges 13-16 we read about the mighty Sampson. He was set apart since birth and given super strength. But he wasted his gift by indulging himself and forgetting the needs of others. Seems that God blesses for His glory so that others will praise Him.
Sampson's life was filled with destruction and anger. He was about revenge to the point it consumed him. His temper only complicated the problem, never corrected it.
How does revenge play in our lives? Are we able to turn the other cheek and forgive? Or do we seek payment for the wrongs committed against us. Good thing that God is slow to anger and forgives, otherwise we'd all be in trouble.
Remember how God has forgiven you for the wrongs we have done against Him the next time you want revenge.....
