God's Purpose

When Samson came to Lehi, the Philistines came to meet him shouting. The Spirit of The Lord took control of him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like burst flax and his bonds fell off his wrists. He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed 1,000 men with it. Then Samson said:

With the jawbone of a donkey I have piled them in a heap

With a jawbone of a donkey I have killed 1000 men. Judges15:14-16

Here was a young man who was supposed to be a Nazarite: not drink wine, not touch unclean things, not sleep with prostitutes, not eat unclean things, yet he does.

The Spirit of The Lord comes upon Samson for one purpose and that is to destroy the enemy. God is happy with the purpose and the relationship. He does not complain or rebuke Samson. Why? Perhaps He knows what He is doing in choosing such a young man?

I am mindful that I would have not gone to him for counsel, advice, example. In fact I would have stayed away unless to minister, but at this time he was not open.

This does not mean that I would not acknowledge God was using Samson for Hus purpose, I would honour God and trust Him.
