It's our job to give them what is best, not always what they want.

He only wanted his own ways and often gave into his selfish desires... BUT Yet, God chose to use this man to lead His people. <br /><br />Thank you for linking up with #TuneInThursday today!

Delilah tells him outright why she wants to know the power of his strength and then is surprised when she ends up doing what she says she will. But like you said, God uses his anger and strength to benefit him and his people.
