from “"I Feel So Embarrassed"”
And you feel like this is the end for me. Maybe you believe Samson who got the most expensive haircut in the history of humanity talk about a hinge decision a haircut turned into his eyes being gouged out and the loss of his strength because of the breaking of his vow and Samson with his eyes gouged out is Standing in the column as they worship Dagon the false God and they're mocking him and perhaps you feel like that right now like man I just feel so embarrassed. I feel so humiliated and Samson at his lowest moment. You listening to me I'm telling you can change the end. The Bible says in Judges 16 28 then Samson Prayed to the Lord pray about it, baby. It's not over. He prayed to the Lord Sovereign Lord Remember me, please God strengthen me just once more and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes And then Samson reached You missed it Justin Then Samson reached I'm telling you that you get to pick your next then you get to pick your next then you don't get to Control the result, but you control your response. You get to pick your next then the result belongs to God the response belongs to you and Samson mocked can't see blind humiliated defeated disgraced embarrassed Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood Bracing himself against them his right hand on the one put it on the screen the end and his left hand on the other The Bible says change it watch this Samson said let me die with the Philistines Then he pushed with all his might and down came the temple of the false God and down came the verdict over his life that it was over and down came the temple and thus he killed more When he died than when he lived It's not too late for you. Then then then what then shall you say? Then I gave up Or then I stepped up Then I stayed down But then I got up And maybe if you don't believe me or Moses or David or Samson, maybe you believe Peter Peter denied he even knew the Lord he sat down by the fire and acted like he wasn't even a follower of his best friend
