Hope in "However"- Judges 16:22
I read this verse again today and it really stood out to me... all this "crap" was going on in Samson's life... a lot of it self inflicted... eyes gouged out... he was a "grinder" in prison... the verbal abuse and probably additional physical abuse... remember he was "unhurt-able" before... so you know people were testing that! The word..."HOWEVER" or "BUT"... implies a turn of the tides... it implies... "hope".. it's saying, "the story doesn't end there". There is hope in that statement. It implies and later shows that God is returning to Samson. In a movie... it would be a subtle clue... an almost missed picture... a part where the fade in at the end of the movie to show that their is life... "however, the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off." God is a God full of Grace... Samson messed up but God was allowing His hair to grow to show that there was a one last thing that he could do. remember the powerful part in this story... is that "vengeance is mine" says the Lord. Samson killed more Philistines in his death then he did in his entire life! Praise God for "however"... I've had a few in my life... and I thank Him that more are coming!
