Bishop David Muriithi: Why married women should strive to be a Delilah

In the book of Judges, a story is told of how Samson went out to Gaza, saw a prostitute, and had sex with her. The men of Gaza heard of it and encompassed him and laid wait for him in the morning. At midnight, Samson woke up and took on his shoulders the doors of the gate of the city, its two posts and bar; and carried them up to the top of the hill before Hebron. Later, he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek called Delilah.

A number of analyses have been made on the weaknesses of Samson. How he lacked self-control and his inability to resist the power of a woman. I want us to look at the story of Samson from another perspective: Samson was more powerful than a speeding bullet and an amazing man. His problem was not a lack of control rather; he was a strong man who fell in love with the wrong person.
