That which binds you:

  1 - Samson

 

Judges 16

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

   - - 15 Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when you won’t confide in me? This is the third time you have made a fool of me and haven’t told me the secret of your great strength.” 16 With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was sick to death of it.

 

  —  20 Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!”

He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I’ll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had left him.

21 Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison. 22 But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.

 

 

And we never hear of Delilah ever again. He gave his all only to have her betray him and leave him.

 

There are things that will enslave you and once your are bound by its powers it will walk away and leave you for dead. 

 

**That which bound Samson was not evil in his eyes, it was not detestable, it was sweet, it was expected, it felt great, it felt right,  it was innocent to him… it was love. 

 

 

I don’t want a beautiful young lovely woman to marry my boys… I want Gods woman to marry my boys. 

 

**You give your life to your job. You miss holidays, you miss your kids games, it brings fighting into your marriage, you miss church,You miss small groups, you miss being used in ministry… you love your job and it pays well… and then Friday rolls around and you are let go. no one cares, no one sheds a tear, no one try’s to get you a new job, no one is worried that you gave up so much of your life.

NOW NO JOB AND NO BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE, NO DEEP RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR KIDS, NO STRONG SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR CHRISTIAN WALK, NO DEEP MEANINGFUL CONNECTION TO GOD.

 

 

What you love can either free you or bind you. 

 

Put your all and all into Jesus and he will free you.

Put it into anything else and it will enslave you.
