Our Bible Reading of the Day is Judges 16:4-31. God grants Samson great strength to defeat the enemies of God’s people. Seeking to overcome Samson, the Philistines bribe Delilah to find the source of Samson’s strength. Samson deceives Delilah each time she tries to uncover the secret, but he finally reveals the key to his power. Shorn and blinded by the Philistines, Samson is brought to entertain thousands of revelers at the feast to Dagon. Identifying the house’s supporting pillars, Samson prays, and God grants him power to bring down the temple, killing everyone. Samson’s death brought about the temporal rescue of God’s people. Jesus’ sinless sacrifice and death brought about the eternal rescue of God’s people from eternal death.
