DON'T GIVE UP JUST WHEN YOUR HAIR IS STARTING TO GROW._ Joshua Selman

 

DON'T GIVE UP JUST WHEN YOUR HAIR IS STARTING TO GROW.

After Samson was captured by the Philistines, his hair began to grow again. 

Samson was brought to the temple of the gods of the Philistines and his enemies taunted, mocked and made fun of him.

Samson then prayed to God to allow him die with the enemies, and with his  strength that was gradually returning, Samson brought down the pillars of the temple and died with his enemies.

Have you ever wondered?

What if Samson didn't pray to die with his enemies that day?

What if he had endured the shame and ridicule?

What if he had allowed his hair to keep growing?

What if he had waited until his hair grew longer and he became stronger?

Perhaps he would have lived longer and accomplish greater feat.

Yes! He was in prison without eyes but remember once upon a time he carried the gates of a city on his shoulder all through the night, surely he would have been able carry the prison gates and leave.

If Samson didn't die with the enemies that day, his hair would have kept growing, and he would have grown stronger, but Samson gave up too quickly, he gave up just as his hair began to grow.

Please don't repeat the mistake of Samson.

Don't give up just when your hair is beginning to grow.

I know your enemies are taunting you about your downfall, and you are tempted to prove to them that your strength is returning, but please endure the ridicule, and allow your hair to keep growing.

I know you are standing at a point where you can see all your enemies mocking you, and you want to push the pillars on them, but pushing at that level with this length of hair, will require you to die with them, why not endure the shame and allow your hair grow longer?

I am speaking to you, no matter the mockery of the enemy, don't give up when your hair is just starting to grow, don't die with the enemy.
