Aim: To entrust ourselves and our loved ones to God.
Doctrine: Covenant advantages are designed to lead us to Godly living. ''For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required.'' This call for sincere, humble faith in Christ.
Exegesis: Three preparatory blessings that should have aided Samson: parents who desired to do well by him (vv. 12-14); parents who valued the worship of the Lord (vv. 15-21); parents who sought to walk with God (vv. 22-25).
Further application: How faithful churchmen are to take comfort from God's covenant of grace: though we are severely flawed (and our best efforts are tainted with sin), God is good; and He is pleased with our faith in Christ.
Key verse: v. 24 ''So the woman bore a son and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.''
