Judges 13-15

Judges 14:4 is a most troubling verse. Samson has grown up a Nazarite. So he has led a life of total separation was what is not holy to God. He God moves him to pursue and marry a Philistinian woman. Why would God plan such a paradox? To create an opportunity of conflict so that his power could be demonstrated in one man of Israel. In some ways Samson followed in his mother's simple faith. He did what God lead him to do even though it did not make sense to those around him.
