Have you or do you know someone who has lost a sense of themselves or self-worth, for the sake of desire and passionate lust? Have you ever been "sprung" by a man or a woman to the point that you couldn't function emotionally, physically, or spiritually?The biblical story of Samson & Delilah (Judges 16) accounts for this type of relationship. When Samson fell for Delilah, a woman from the Valley of Sorek, it was the beginning of his downfall and eventually led to his demise.
Samson, a man of self-indulgence, sarcasm, and conciet, had been set apart to God through the Nazarite vow at birth. As part of the vow, his hair must never be cut. Using her seductive influence, Delilah persistently petitions Samson of knowing where his "strength" lies, until he finally divulges the information. Though he was set apart for special service to God (Judges 13:5), Samson ignored the Nazarite vow of devotion and relied upon his own strength and abilities. Not only did he refuse to acknowledge the supernatural strength of God in his life but his weakness for Philistine women was more important than God's expressed will.
