God is sovereign

Judges 14:1-9
Samson tore the lion apart with his bare hands for the Spirit of the Lord came upon him in power so he can do it.
Samson ate honey from the lions carcass, it is against the rule of Nazirite.
The Philistines were the only ones among Israel's neighbours not to practise circumcision.
The editor's comment makes God responsible, since God is sovereign. But this does not make it right for Samson to break God's law and marry someone who worships other gods or to be disrespectful to his parents. God did not take away his freedom of choice.
Why?
God give us the freedom of choice, but it does not mean God agree what we choose. We have to take the responsibility of the choice.
How?
Gifts are coming from the Lord, give honor to the Lord.
