Uncle Samson?

Jdg 14:4 "His parents did not know that this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines; for at that time they were ruling over Israel."

I believe there is no real mention of the United States in the Bible. With specific places and times regarding prophetic events (verifiable after it happens) the Bible is silent about the land I love and call home. It makes me wonder. Could America be shadowing the life of Samson (strong and able, protecting his people and still losing his way)?

Jdg 16:1 "Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her."

Something drew him to Delilah, nothing dangerous about her, yeah. Maybe Samson should have listened to his parents when he first began looking for the right girl?

Jdg 14:3 His father and mother objected. "Isn't there even one woman in our tribe or among all the Israelites you could marry?" they asked. "Why must you go to the pagan Philistines to find a wife?" But Samson told his father, "Get her for me! She looks good to me."

I guess his strength was not an issue for him. He always had it. He probably thought it belonged to him. It took some sad turn of events to bring him back to the source of his strength. We can all take some advice here and be sure to be thankful to God YHWH for what we have. We should be aware of where we come from (our history). The future is still subject to our choices.

Jdg 16:28 “Then Samson called to the LORD, saying, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God,…”

You really should read it for yourself.

I hope America’s story is not like that of Samson.
America,
blessed America,
don’t turn your back on God
or His beloved Israel, please.
