Samson said to the young man who was leading him by the hand, “Lead me where I can feel the pillars supporting the temple, so I can lean against them.” The temple was full of men and women; all the leaders of the Philistines were there, and about 3,000 men and women were on the roof watching Samson entertain ⌊them⌋. He called out to the Lord : “Lord God , please remember me. Strengthen me, God, just once more. With one act of vengeance, let me pay back the Philistines for my two eyes.” Samson took hold of the two middle pillars supporting the temple and leaned against them, one on his right hand and the other on his left. Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” He pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the leaders and all the people in it. And the dead he killed at his death were more than those he had killed in his life. (Judges 16:26-30 HCSB)
We often describe God as a loving and kind God. He is. However, we often forget about the vengeful God. Don't forget about the vengeful God. If you mess with Him or His chosen you will pay the ultimate price. Take Samson for instance. He was chosen and blessed by God for a purpose. He then was captured and mocked by enemies of God. But, who laughed last? Do you know someone that is chosen by God that you don't mesh with? I know you do. Watch out. Make sure you don't get caught in the vengeance.
