There is therefore now no condemnation to those who
are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, 
but according to the Spirit

Romans 8:1

Samson and Delilah:

It one of the Judges that I knew as a child and also possible my favourite

I see ones foolishness of walking alone and with no counsel

Alone you are vulnerable and you cannot see the blindspots

Samson had a blindspot like us

Two are better than one 
In midst of many blindspot 
One can help the other

Though one may be overpowered 
Though one may be overshadowed 
Two can withstand the schemes of the enemy 
Two can empower each other

Threefold cord is not so easily broken
I know that whatever God says He is going to do 
He will do it 

And so I turn to myself to consider the wisdom and madness and folly

For what can we do if not learn from the mistakes we do or see 
The world is full of madness 
Then I saw that it is better to have wisdom and be consider a fool to the world 
Than to be a fool that walks in darkness 
Yet I myself perceived that the event happens to all
My soul as it happens to the fool 
It also happens to us 
All this is vanity 

So I listened to Samson and wondered why? 
That is not the question to ask, he says! 
Follow me, for we do things that we don’t want to do
I am under the law and we know that the law is spiritual 
But I am carnal sold under sin
For what I am doing, I do not understand. 
For what I will do, that I do not practice; but what I hate that I do 
But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

The words of Paul in Romans echoes in my heart and a different lens is put on.

And she bound him

Oh Lord she did bound!

The folly of the woman continues 
She insists on love yet she doesn’t 
Today hear the voice of the Lord 
The seductress will call upon your name 
and entice you into her bed 
Yes she does for her ways may seem right 
But she does it to lead you into further darkness
Do not walk past her for all she wants is your life
She sits by the gates and waits 
Like a lion ready to devour its prey
Now therefore listen to voice of Lord
And gain knowledge in His presence

Wisdom calls and understanding is only
found in the house of Lord

Samson could run 
He knew what she was like 
But he didn't 
because God had a different plan 
God always has a different plan to ours 
For His ways are not ours 
and whatever the enemy meant for evil 
God uses for good 

Because the light is far better than darkness 

Thank the Lord Jesus for showing us that we can put to death the flesh 
Because of His righteousness 
Thank the Lord Jesus for His compassion that when we do walk in the flesh 
We are corrected and not condemn
Because the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead 
Is the same Spirit that lives in us giving us life
Giving us the peace that one cannot understand or fathom
It is never too late with the Lord 
As long as there's life then forgiveness is closer than we think
So I know that I have no debt to my flesh
To walk in the flesh 
For I am a daughter of the Lord 

O LORD GOD, remember me, I pray! 
Strengthen me, I pray
Just this once, O GOD
