CHARACTER STUDY ~ DELILAH

Delilah is a beautiful lady who stayed in the valley of Sorek. Sampson loved her and she was employed by the Philistine lords to lure Sampson to tell her where his strength lies so that they may prevail against him. She succeeded after a continuous attempt to get an answer.

Characteristics lessons from Delilah
* She is cunning. Her request to know the strength of Sampson was done as though she loved him. Be mindful of unfriendly friends around you.
* She traded her love for pearls. There are many out there who would do just anything to gain worth even if it means losing love ones. Ask God to open your eyes to see such people. 
* She offered her lap as a place of comfort to Sampson but that was for his doom. Just as Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus with a kiss, she also betrayed Sampson on her lap. She called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him.
