Psalm 36 - There's a stark contrast between verses 4 and 5. The psalm starts with meditation on the ways in which people reject the will of God, and then transitions to the breadth and depth of God's steadfast love. It makes me wonder if the point is that God's love and presence is so large that the wicked's attempt to flatter themself is absurd in comparison.
Judges 16:4-30 - At first I can't believe why Samson tells Delilah anything. What an idiot. Yet, who has never done something stupid for love? Throughout Samson's life he seemed preoccupied with games and tricks, but his story isn't just about himself. God leaves him and he is beaten, but when the Philistines start to give thanks to Dagon, the power of God is shown again.
Galatians 4:12-31 - Sarah and Hagar as example of what it means to live under the Law versus under the Gospel.
