Hello Everyone,

Samson paid a high price for low living when he defiled his purity.

It keeps getting worse. Sin takes you farther that you want to go, will keep you longer than you planned to stay, and will cost you far more than you planned to pay.

Judges 16:1-4 ¹ One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute. He went in to spend the night with her. ² The people of Gaza were told, "Samson is here!" So they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They made no move during the night, saying, "At dawn we'll kill him."

³ But Samson lay there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.

⁴ Some time later, he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah.

Oh how the plot thickens.

Proverbs 5:3-5 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; ⁴ but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. ⁵ Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.

The devil never shows us the end of the story.

Sin has a blinding, desensitizing effect.
Proverbs 6:32-33
³² But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.

³³ Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away;

The consequences go on and on. Forgiveness is still possible, but the consequences continue.

Oh How God Loves Us! Turn to Him.
