A crisis has the potential for securing change that previously seemed impossible. While a crisis can produce positive results, sadness and grief most often follow in its wake. Samson’s relationship with Delilah produced a devastating crisis for his life because he refused to accept that she was untrustworthy and would betray him.
Her betrayal resulted in Samson’s capture by an enemy who gouged out his eyes. He would labor for the rest of his life as a blind slave chained to a grinding wheel. Samson betrayed himself by believing he could survive and thrive living on the edge without boundaries, while minimizing his commitment to God.
As a Christian it is incredibly important to believe God will never betray or forsake you, even if you have turned your back on him. If this is your story, repent and seek God’s forgiveness. Ask him to renew your faith. If you are sincere, he will receive you back into fellowship. Seek God now while he can be found.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not
have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise
be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
~Psalm 66:18-20 New International Version
