Judges 15

I realized this evening that I haven't done my blog in several days - the first time since I started this over two hundred days ago that I missed it, and boy did I ever miss (at least three days without remembering). Anyways, I'm picking up tonight where I left off.

Samson really comes into his own, or more properly into God's power, in this section. He gets revenge first for his wife being given away to another man, and then when she and her father are killed he went on a rampage against those who did it. Lastly, he kills a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey - amazing! A great example of God's purpose being carried out in a way which no mere human on his own could ever accomplish.

It also looks like Samson led the Israelites for a couple decades after these events, before he finally met his demise. But I am getting ahead of myself - that should be left for future entries.
