Delilah - Her Promise

Delilah - Her Promise

Even the sordid story of Delilah and her Hebrew lover, Samson, conveys an important truth: God loves us and will not abandon us even when we make mistakes, even when we sin. Over and over throughout the biblical narrative, we see God using people who are great sinners, people who are less than perfect, people who through their own folly fail and only then recognize their need of him. He didn’t abandon people like Samson, foolish and sinful though he was, and he won’t abandon us, foolish and sinful though we might be.

Promises in Scripture

Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;

according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O LORD.

— Psalm 25:7

The LORD is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made.

The LORD upholds all those who fall
and lifts up all who are bowed down.

— Psalm 145:13 – 14

The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

— 1 Thessalonians 5:24
