Judges 14:1-9
Samson went down to Timnah and saw there a young Philistine woman. When he returned, he said to his father and mother, “I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife.”
But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me. She’s the right one for me.” (His parents did not know that this was from the Lord, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines; for at that time they were ruling over Israel.)
The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done.
He scooped out the honey with his hands and ate as he went along. When he rejoined his parents, he gave them some, and they too ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s carcass.
Samson, he treats it with a casualness amounting to contempt.
Why?
No matter what we have done, if we are in God's hands, even we did something wrong it could be under God's plan. But too much contempt with the way of the Lord may cause some tragedy.
The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him so that he tore the lion with his bare hands. This is the special power that came from the Lord.

參孫看上外邦女子。只問自己喜歡,相當於人的罪性,執意和非利士人結婚。這件事也在神的掌管中。縱使人偏行己路,神仍然可以改為神的心意。
參孫魯莽做事,不管他的身份。犯了拿細耳人規矩。原則還是自己是否喜歡,是否需要,對我有好處的我就做。參孫就是我們人的寫照,順從自己的情慾做事。
今天有些事情,可能不如人意。這事是出於耶和華。我們祈求是照我們的心意,還是照神的心意成就?我們要祈求的是我們是否偏行己路?要照著神的旨意行。以免神的旨意成就了,我們卻被棄絕了。

How?
Obey the commands of the Lord is much better than contempt the laws. It is a blessing to us.
