Today: [Judges Chapter Sixteen]: Pulling Down the Pillars of Dagon. In this chapter Samson meets Delilah and is ultimately destroyed. Throughout his life Samson objectified women and used them for his own selfish ends. In the midst of this God used Samson mightily on many occasions, which serves as a warning not to confuse anointing with godly character. Samson’s character was marred by deep judgmentalism toward woman and unbridled narcissism. At the end of his life he recovers his relationship with God and pulls down these strongholds that brought him such grief in the mist of a lifetime of exploits for God.
