In the bible, Samson lived under what was called the nazerite vow. It was a life style of being set apart since birth to refrain from certain things to establish purity. As Chritians we sometimes forget that we are set apart from the rest of the pack. We were called to be a new creation which I would go as far as saying a totally new species. When we're birthed in this new genre of people we need to remember to not mix it up with the locals.
Many times in the word it talks about the nation of Israel getting involved with the other tribes and tainting the blood of the once pure breed God intended. We are in the world, but not of it. The process of being set apart is up to you now. Will you continue to persue the new nature of living or will you stray and create a monster out of your life?
It was said that nothing good can come from Nazereth, but Jesus was from Nazereth and he proved a planet wrong when he died on a cross, rose from a grave, and ascended to heaven on our behalf. Remember to honor your vows and sanctify yourself in life to remain a pure and holy generation.
