My Name Is Delilah
Revive Devotionals - Kisses and Huggs Club
Samson and Delilah's story never ceases to fascinate me. Samson was called, anointed, and assigned by God. He was among the fortunate few whose birth was announced by an angel! That was the significance of his birth and assignment.
He did, however, have a dreadful weakness: women! Samson had a penchant for women. When he saw a woman, he would utterly lose his bearings. His erection would become his direction.

Jdg 14:2 KJV
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
