A Ray of Light
By Greg Laurie
“But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love.”
—Nehemiah 9:17
Even in the mess Samson had made of his life, even though the Philistines had captured him and blinded him, there was a little ray of light.
The Bible says, “But before long, his hair began to grow back” (Judges 16:22 NLT). What is this verse saying? It’s telling us there is hope, even if we have failed.
As Samson’s hair began to grow, his strength returned. However, Samson’s strength was not in his long hair. Rather, it was in his commitment to God. His hair symbolized a vow he had taken as a Nazirite. And his hair was returning.
