Judg 14:7-9 | MHM | STEP | v. 7–9 : Later, when Samson returned to Timnath for his wedding, he passed by the lion’s carcass and discovered a swarm of bees had made honey inside it. He took some of the honey and ate it, sharing it with his parents, though he did not tell them where it came from (Judges 14:7-9 ). This incident symbolized how God could bring something sweet (victory) out of something fierce (the lion), just as He would bring deliverance for Israel out of their struggles with the Philistines. It also reminds us of Christ’s victory over Satan, the roaring lion, which brings sweetness and strength to believers (Psalm 118:12 ).
