Samson went down to Timnah and at Timnah he saw a woman, one of the daughters of the Philistines. So he went back and told his father and his mother, “I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now get her for me as a wife.” But his father and mother said to him, “Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised (pagan) Philistines?” And Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, because she looks pleasing to me.” His father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD, and that He was seeking an occasion [to take action] against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

A 4-day devotional inspired by the movie, SAMSON, based on the original epic story found in Judges 13-16. SAMSON was set apart and chosen by God, and given supernatural strength to bring hope and freedom to God’s people. He made some bad choices, but God enabled him to finish strong, and become a hero of faith we read about later in Hebrews 11. Plan written by Cassie Littel

I share about how this dangerous ploy of the enemy can be used to destroy the calling and purpose God has for us and how we can put an end to it!
The Bible doesn't shy away from the reality of masculine instincts, nor all of the ways those instincts can lead to destruction. Examining the lives of five men from the Bible, The 5 Masculine Instincts shows that these men aren't masculine role models or heroes but are men who wrestled with their own desires and, by faith, matured them into something better.
