“Set Apart, Yet Struggling

Judges 13–14 introduces Samson, one of the most gifted and puzzling people in the book of Judges. These chapters show God announcing a special calling before Samson is even born, setting him apart for a holy purpose, and then immediately showing us how weakness can live right alongside calling. Together, these chapters teach that God is gracious in raising deliverers, but also that divine calling does not remove the need for personal obedience. A person can be set apart by God and still struggle deeply if desire outruns wisdom.Welcome to EveryDayWord — the daily podcast of the Derrick J.
