«So the woman bore a son and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.» Judges 13:24
The Philistines were enemies of Israel. They worshiped many gods such as Dagon, who had the body of a fish and the head of a man.
Because of the disobedience of the Israelites, God allowed the Philistines to invade their land. And they cried out to God in repentance.
Then an angel of the Lord appeared to a woman and her husband, Manoah. They couldn’t have babies, but they wanted a child very much! The angel said that they would have a special son who would be consecrated to the Lord and deliver the people from their enemies. His parents should never cut his hair or give him alcoholic drinks and unclean foods.
The baby was born and named Samson. He grew up and became the strongest man in the world. One day a lion wanted to attack him, and he killed it!
But Samson had a special job… Would he obey God and do his job?
Let’s practice!
Did you know that God has a job for you, too? Ask your mom and dad how you can work for Him.
