Samson's Delilah Dilemma IHS (Confessions)
In 1966, Percy Sledge released a sultry, soulful recorded version of "When A Man Loves A Woman." This song quickly became a musical anthem among men who fell prey to the grips of true love, or the fleeting lust of a dangerous (to their soul) woman. The full lyrics penned in this song attempt to explain the love a man may have for his woman, whether she be considered by others to be good, wayward, or downright strange fire ratchet!
Some men excuse or defend their honor, even in light of their deceptive behavior. In the case of Samson, many have sadly expressed the travesty it was for him to have been a great anointed Nazirite warrior and ruler over God's people, who seemingly wasted his young life and strength by giving in to his unrestrained passions. Unchecked, those feelings led him to live carelessly. Samson's disobedience, zeal for violence, action, and his apparent thirst for sexual immorality, caused him to be distracted.
Drawn away, deceived, and then snuffed out upon the delicate lap of Delilah, the object of his desire; seemingly the "FAMOUS" (Samson), was subdued by the "INFAMOUS" (Delilah). His cockiness was no match for her coy, coquettish ways. However, behind the scene, God's orchestration was at work. And for this cause, we will take a deeper look at the plight of this great man of God through this storyteller's lenses. There, we will discover (in part) why we should celebrate Samson for living his life with exact purpose, unto God.
Also, written here are short modern-day stories of men and women caught in predicaments and entanglements. Challenging the very nature of their souls and spirits, many come to know God the Father through His Dear Son, Jesus Christ, the "Great Deliverer." Amen.
Moses' Zipporah IHS (Letters)
IMAGINE...
IMAGINE being loved and raised as royalty. You live in a palace where you get to enjoy the best of everything: wealth, choice foods, the finest of clothing, a stellar education, and training for battle! IMAGINE being cherished by many and held in the highest regard by your elders, until one day something happens, changing the course of your life forever. To live the kind of life described above for many years, only to wake up one day and have your NATION of thoughts, deeds, and IMAGES reduced to nothing more than your IMAGINATION, would probably devastate you! That was Moses' plight. BORN a Hebrew and MARKED for DEATH as a baby, he was strategically SENT up the Nile River cradled in a bassinet and then DRAWN from the water by Pharaoh's sister's compassionate heart, only to be returned to his birth mother to be nurtured and then weaned. Hidden in plain sight, he was raised as an Egyptian. However, at the same time, he was being reserved by the Hand of GOD for a greater purpose. Now, IMAGINE this: as he grew, in God's appointed time (after a series of events), he (Moses) found himself as a fugitive, and then a man with a God-ordained mission, betrothed to the heart and arms of a brave, decisive, protective Midianite shepherd girl named Zipporah.
Written in this book is a brief exposition of Moses’ wife, Zipporah, and a collection of delightful modern-day-LETTERED theme stories. These IMAGINED stories are designed to help aid us in understanding why King Solomon, in his ancient God-given wisdom, said:
"Everything that happens has happened before; nothing is NEW, (NO)THING UNDER the SUN."
(Eccle 1:9)
HOWEVER, with God, through Jesus Christ, EVERYTHING is NEW in HIS SON!
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, All Things Have Become New." (2 Cor 5:17)
God bless!
