Do you know you are personally responsible for all your choices and the consequences that come from them? Listen to this lesson to learn that God works behind the scenes to see that His sovereign will is always carried out ultimately. Find out that rebellious, self-centered Samson made decisions based on his selfish lusts, but God worked behind the scenes to use Samson’s choices to disrupt relations with the Philistines. Hear an incident in Samson’s life involving a young woman and a lion and the trouble that was caused.

87 - God Thwarts Israelite Assimilation [B]
Tuesday, January 31, 2023
by Robert Dean
Passage: Judges 14:9-20
Series: Judges (2021)
Duration: 1 hr 1 mins 51 secs

Irresponsible Samson is up to his arrogant, selfish tricks again in this week’s lesson as he takes a Philistine wife and plans a feast to celebrate. Find out who is invited to his feast and the wager and riddle he presents to them concerning his experience with a young lion. Hear how the new wife gets the answer to the riddle out of him by tears and pleading and the disastrous results Samson pursues as he pays the wager. Recognize from this that although Samson is totally disinterested in spiritual matters, God is always at work using Samson’s actions to fulfill His sovereign plans.
