Thinking through the implications of Judges 14.4. Samson demanded that his parents get him a Philistine as wife even though God had prohibited intermarriage. This was of the Lord though his parents did not know it.
Though Samson was sinning God would use that sin to bring judgment against the Philistines, meanwhile his parents would suffer the agony of watching him make poor decisions.
1. God might call us to raise a Samson.
2. God might call us to raise an Absalom.
3. God is sovereign even when our kids make poor choices.
4. We will still suffer when we see our kids make poor choices.
5. Thus the importance of resting in the reality of God's providence and control over all of life.
