Samson's Inner Gaza

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 16:1 invites us to see Gaza as an inner disposition, a magnet of appetite within the mind. Samson represents awareness that can act decisively, yet the act of going in unto her shows how a momentary identification with sensation can pull consciousness away from its true nobility. The scene is not about judgment of a person but about inner dynamics: when I forget who I am and entertain a compelling image, I allow desire to rule. The fix is to return to the I AM, aware, complete, and undisturbed by lure, so that obedience to inner truth becomes a natural state. By revising the inner scene, you refuse the image you were about to act on and reaffirm your purity. Your spiritual integrity is strengthened not by rule but by the consistency of your awareness. The more you dwell in the I AM, the less power inner temptations hold, and Samson's weakness becomes a beacon urging you toward steady faithfulness and self-mastery.
