“The Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison” (Judges 16: 21).
That is what sin does. It blinds you. It finds you out.
Sin blinds you. Sin causes people to do completely irrational things. We all know the story: men and women leave loving spouses and precious children to go have their so-called fling. Then they come to regret it. Samson gave into sin not knowing he’s being robbed of his calling of being Israel’s judge, until his eyes were gouged out of his sockets.
Don’t be deceived by sin. If it comes knocking on your door, don’t answer. It is a lie. You’re being blinded. Wake up!
