Samson Did Not Give Up; - Continue

 Samson experienced painful consequences because of trusting Delilah rather than Jehovah.  The Philistines captured and blinded Samson. He was imprisoned in Gaza, whose people he had earlier humiliated, and he became a lowly grinder of grain. Then he was humiliated when the Philistines gathered for a celebration. They offered a great sacrifice to their false god Dagon, as if he had given Samson into their hands. They brought Samson from prison to the party to provide "some amusement"-to make fun of him. - JUDGES 16:21-25. 

Samson had made a serious mistake, but he did not give up. He looked for an opportunity to fulfill his God-given assignment against the Philistines." (Read Judges 16:28-30.) Samson begged Jehovah: "Let me take revenge on the Philistines. "The True God answers Samson's plea and restored his miraculous strength. As a result, Samson was more successful against the Philistines on this occasion than ever before.
