Delilah

“So Delilah said to Samson, ‘Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.’” Judges 16:6
Delilah had been offered a lot of money by the Philistine rulers to find the secret of Samson’s strength so they could capture him. Now, while some would have gone about finding out through stealth, Delilah comes right out and asks him. Despite her overtness, Samson thought it was a game. First he told her to tie him with seven new bowstrings (v7), then with new ropes (v11), then if she wove his hair into a loom (v13). Finally he told her that the secret was in his Nazirite vow, and that if his head was shaved he would lose his strength (v17). And that is exactly what she did to him.
None of us can fool around in the enemy’s camp and not suffer for it. Even Samson, the strongest man, played with fire and ultimately lost. He was in a place he shouldn’t have been, and although he should have seen the warning signs and split as soon as Delilah said she wanted to subdue him, his infatuation with her blinded him.
Is there a temptation situation in your life that you keep returning to? If so, you need to reconsider. Heed the signs, and stick close to the Lord, instead of playing with fire.
