Games people play

Today, I was reading about Samson and he just disturbed me.  This GROWN man is playing riddles with the things of God like it is a common joke.  It reminded me of the games that people play.  When we get our teeth kicked in, we want to pray.  When the party is hot and the booze is free, we want to forget we are saved.  I thought it strange that a man who is supposed to be killing Philistines, would lay his head in the lap of a Philistine woman who had proven that she was unfaithful in the first two attempts to get him assassinated.  I just think that he was playing with fire.  Are you playing with fire?  Are you walking as close to the line as you can get?  Are you telling riddles and jokes with your salvation?

Richard Pryor said this, “ I don’t tell God jokes.  One day, I might wake up and it won’t be funny.”
