repentance
Judges 16
You thought Shamgar was strong when he took out 600 people. Samson took out 1000 with a donkey's jawbone. But his successes got to his head because he lost sight that it was God who gave him this incredible strength. And when he gave up his secret to delilah he must've still thought he would be just as strong and would be able to rescue himself from any situation. He was unfortunately mistaken.
In the end though, he repented and acknowledged that it was God that gave him his strength and this time relied on that to have his final act against the philistines.
Lord, let me never lose sight that it is YOU who enables us to soar on wings like eagles.
