15Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when you won’t confide in me? This is the third time you have made a fool of me and haven’t told me the secret of your great strength.”
Samson had to be one of the dumbest men who ever lived. He was probably equally horny and not able to control his urges. Delilah has already used information that he gave her against him, and yet he is willing to give her more information. I just had the image of a Russian spy movie using a sexy secret agent to get information from the American diplomat. Samson has a weakness for women. And his enemy used that weakness to trap him. What is the weakness that the enemy of your soul uses to trip you up? We all have weakness. We need to know them so that we can put a guard around them and avoid them. If our weakness is Twinkies, then we had better avoid the fast snack aisle at the Quicky Mart. If it is laziness, then we need to build activity and productivity into our daily routine. But in order to do that we must be aware of our weaknesses and bring those weaknesses to the Lord with honesty and openness. We need His strength. Ours has failed.
