Delilah - a name synomous with deception and beauty. Samson - a name that was marked for strength but also brashness and pride. A deadly combination at best. She was beautiful and at the same time looked out for number one. It was easy to see where her allegiance was when approached by the Philistines for her help in overcoming their enemy. On the other hand, Samson didn't learn his lesson from his first "deep" encounter with a woman where she betrayed him as well. Still this was the classic case of cat and mouse where she tried to learn the secret of his strength and he was succumbinng to the source of his weakness. Still the parallels to Proverbs is astonishing.
Was good to speak to GG last night and catch up with him briefly. Also glad that Irene made it down to FL without incident. Looking forward to going home later and the weekend.
Praise for today: The Lord indeed will give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. Psalms 85: 12-13.
