In the valley, Samson gave up his holy vow to Delilah, who put him to sleep to cut away his strength. Blinded and bound in chains, the fallen leader was dragged into a crowded hall to let thousands of enemies laugh at him. The crowd thought they had won for good behind prison walls. But human pride hits a hard wall when the Lord of hosts manages a room. Standing between the two massive pillars, the man prayed, took hold of the stone, and forcefully brought the entire ceiling down, because the power of God cannot be chained by men.
“And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.” Judges 16:28
