Day 76: Promise, POWER, and Peril in Judges Judges 13-15 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

For Day 76 of our "Bible in a Year" playlist, we explore Judges 13-15, introducing Samson, a child of promise marked by a Nazirite vow. His extraordinary strength brings deliverance from the Philistines, but his impulsive choices and personal weaknesses foreshadow trouble, reflecting Israel’s broader struggle with faithfulness in a chaotic time.

Questions:
1. Samson’s birth is announced by an angel in Judges 13—what does this divine beginning suggest about God’s plans, even in a time of spiritual decline?

2. Samson’s strength is undeniable in chapters 14-15, yet his decisions often lack wisdom—how do we balance God-given gifts with the need for discernment?

3. The riddle and revenge cycle with the Philistines shows Samson’s personal battles—how might his story challenge us to consider the consequences of acting on impulse?
