Samson

(Used by permission Thomas Nelson Publishers)

Judg 14:6 (NASU) The Spirit of the Lord came upon him mightily, so that he tore him as one tears a young goat though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

Samson was given great strength by God. This strength was not always with him. This strength was only given to him when he needed it to protect himself or protect Israel from their enemies.

Samson was not a big person, this is what made the miracle.

Samson was an ordinary man. When God's Spirit came upon him, then he had this great strength.
