The One Year Bible - Day 121

Samson, what a pain in the neck! If there is something that makes us think, it is how God gave such gifts to someone who was so egotistical he caused trouble at every turn. Despite losing a riddle because of his wife, he killed 70 men just to get the garments he had to pay for losing the bet!
Why does God chose anyone for anything? Who knows? It's not like He has a great pool of choice and perhaps He will accept that even total trouble makers have enough fruitful times to offset the bad they might also do.
It also reminds us that God is not looking for perfection in us. If He was, we would see nothing of Him since He would never find a suitable helper. Praise God that he works through the other Samsons amongst us.
