"And Samson went down to Timnath.... and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.... Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well" (Judges 14:1-3). "Behold My Servant, whom I have chosen; My Beloved, in Whom My soul is well pleased" ( Matthew 12:18).
The appetites of Samson show
An unrestrained seduction
To please himself, and this we know
Would lead to his destruction.
What a contrast seen in Christ
Who pleased His Father's soul!
His perfect life was sacrificed
To pay our debt in full!
So let us choose this paradigm
To live for this reward,
To give our life to the sublime:
The pleasure of our Lord.
