King James Version
And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.(Judges 14:6)
And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.(Judges 14:7)
And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.(Judges 14:8)
And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.(Judges 14:10)
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.(Judges 14:11)
And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:(Judges 14:12)

Samson - the importance of not wasting the call and the gift of God
The author discusses the story of Samson and the importance of protecting and valuing the gifts and callings that God has given us. The gift is not ours, but lent to us by God, and it comes with conditions. Consecration and holiness to God are necessary for the gift to operate in our lives, and we must remain aware that the gift belongs to God and has a price. The power of the gift is great, but it requires a life of abstinence, discipline, and inner struggle. The sermon ends with a call to consecrate our lives to the Lord and seek His face.
