Nothing diminishes our happiness faster than a feeling of hopelessness or helplessness. Sampson thought everything was fun and games until Delilah cut off he hair. Complacency leads to the demise of everything one has worked for by allowing the chiseling away of those accomplishments. Much like King Saul who abandoned the Creator and sought witches to guide him instead. The good news is believers are not helpless because we have hope. The Creator promised Moses in Exodus 19 that if we choose to hear His instructions and do them that we would be His representatives to the world. That means we have influence and influence is power. The warning is we must use that influence and power for the glory of our Creator and not for our own selfish purpose or pride.
