Samson and Delilah: A long time ago, in a land called Israel, there lived a man named Samson. He was the strongest man in the world! God had given him this strength to help his people, and as long as he never cut his hair, he would remain powerful.
Samson could fight lions with his bare hands, defeat entire armies, and break ropes as if they were tiny threads! But there was one thing Samson didn’t know—his enemies, the Philistines, wanted to capture him.
One day, Samson met a woman named Delilah. The Philistines knew Samson liked her, so they made a wicked plan. They asked Delilah, “Find out the secret of his strength, and we will reward you with silver!”
Delilah asked Samson, “Tell me, how are you so strong?”
At first, Samson didn’t tell her the truth. He said, “If I am tied with fresh ropes, I will be as weak as any other man.” That night, Delilah tied him up and called the Philistines, but Samson broke free easily!
Delilah kept asking, “Please, tell me the truth!” Finally, Samson told her his secret: “If my hair is cut, I will lose all my strength.”
That night, while Samson was asleep, Delilah cut his hair. When the Philistines came, Samson tried to fight, but he was too weak. They captured him and put him in prison.
But Samson did not lose hope. While he was in prison, his hair began to grow back. One day, the Philistines brought him to their temple to make fun of him. Samson prayed to God, “Give me strength one last time!”
God answered his prayer. With all his might, Samson pushed the temple’s pillars, and the whole building came crashing down, defeating the Philistines!
Though Samson made mistakes, he learned that true strength comes from trusting in God.
Moral of the Story:
- Strength is not just about muscles—it’s about having faith and making good choices.
- Be careful who you trust.
- God always gives us a second chance when we turn to Him. 😊
