Reflections with Andy - Judges 16: 23-31 - Working for Good

We see Samson's death today, a story that many of us are familiar with. But when you read it, you see something perhaps unexpected. Samson asks for strength so that he can be an instrument of revenge. That is not something that we are supposed to be about as Christians, is it?  We are supposed to forgive and not seek vengeance. So, even though Samson doesn’t have the best of intentions, God was still able to use him for justice.  Samson, and really all of Judges, is an embodiment of Romans 8:28; all things work for good. Not all things are good, but God can bring good out of every situation.
