 HAS HE LEFT YOU?

Today's reading: Judges 12-16

"...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 16:20 NLT

Samson had inched his way away from the Lord--and woke up bald, enslaved and alone.

He had chosen poorly one decision at a time.

He had his own way too often to be good for him.

He dabbled so often in the world that when it got hold of him, it really got hold!

What about us?

Where are we 'crossing lines' in our beliefs?

How are we dipping our toes into sinful habits, acts, thoughts?

Who are we allowing to distract us from our Lord and Savior?

Samson woke up one morning thinking he would 'do as he had done before and shake himself free'.

Thing is--the sin had imbedded itself into his life and wouldn't shake free of him.

Could the same be said of us?
