Judges 15



Samson didn't think about the consequences of his actions. We see that throughout his life, but especially here, as he didn't realize what would happen if he deserted his wife, what would happen when he burned the fields, what would happen when he killed Philistines for the death of his wife, or the disobedience in taking up a jawbone of a dead animal. Once it was all done, and God was faithful in his foolishness, the closest thing we get to a thanks or a praise is during a complaint to God that sounds more like accusing God of cruelty; you gave victory, but let me die of thirst. 

I'll say it again: don't be like this.
