Revenge is an Uncontrollable Monster.. Judges15

Samson reply tells the story of this chapter "i only did to them what they did to me" Revenge is an uncontrollable monster. Each act of retaliation brings another. It is a boomerang that cannot be thrown without cost to the thrower. The revenge cycle can be halted only by forgiveness.

The Lord's strength came upon Samson, but he was proud and boasted only of his strength "with the jawbone of a donkey (instead worship God).. I've killed a thousand men!" He said. Pride can cause us to take credit for work we've done only because of God's strength.
