"Then Samson prayed to the Lord, 'Sovereign Lord, remember me again. O God please strengthen me one more time so that I may pay back the Philistines for the loss of my eyes.' Then Samson put his hands on the center pillars of the temple and pushed against them with all his might. 'Let me die with the Philistines,' he prayed. And the temple crashed down on the Philistine leaders and all the people. So he killed more people when he died than he had during his entire lifetime." -- Judges 16:28-30 NLT

Background - Samson

Samson's faith made him the strongest man alive. He destroyed an entire army with a jawbone of a donkey and carried off the gates of a fortified city with his bare hands. But all his strength made him powerless to see through the lies of Delilah.

Samson could have been an incredible story of victory through faith. Instead, its a story of wasted potential. There is a lot to learn from Samson. Maybe that is why his story has so fascinated countless generations who have studied his life.
