I have said it, maybe you have too. I’ve said that Samson wasn’t the brightest bulb on the shelf; you know, that he was a taco shy of a combo-plate. It’s easy to pick on Samson because he seemed to make all the wrong decisions for all the wrong reasons. But if you read the Bible carefully, you will find the most shocking suggestion – maybe his “bad decisions” weren’t a matter of Samson’s stupidity; maybe it was the path God wanted him to take!
Wow! Is it possible that God might intentionally lead us on a path of struggles and difficulties? Doesn’t God want us to be happy? Judges 13:5, 25; 14:1-4; Jeremiah 29:11; James 1:2-4
