Judges 14:1-4

           And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife. Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.  But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

In these verses we see how Samson gave into the desires of the flesh when he saw a woman and she was pleasing to him. So he went and told his parents to get her for him to wife. As a young man I can relate to this reaction, I saw someone pleasing to to the eye and I wanted her. I did things not of God but for myself. I pray that God will give me the strength to keep my eyes on him and not of this world
