\u201cGet her for me, for she is right in my eyes.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Judges 14:1
\nTimnah, and at Timnah he saw one of the daughters of the Philistines. Then he came up and told his father and mother, \u201cI saw one of the daughters of the Philistines at Timnah. Now get her for me as my wife.\u201d But his father and mother said to him, \u201cIs there not a woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?\u201d But Samson said to his father, \u201cGet her for me, for she is right in my eyes.\u201d<\/strong>
\nHis father and mother did not know that it was from the Lord, for he was seeking an opportunity against the Philistines. At that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.<\/p>\n

Genesis 24:2
\nAnd Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had, \u201cPut your hand under my thigh, that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites,<\/strong> among whom I dwell, but will go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.<\/p>\n

Genesis 28:1
\nThen Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him, \u201cYou must not take a wife from the Canaanite women.<\/strong>
\nProverbs 14:12
\nThere is a way that seems right to a man,<\/strong>
\nbut its end is the way to death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Romans 6:21
\nBut what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Romans 7:5
\nFor while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samson says “I have seen a girl and I want her for my wife” \u00a0His parents respond “must you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” I know following this verse it says that his parents did not know it was from the Lord. \u00a0I like the fact that the parents immediately brought up the fact that he was asking for something that they deemed not right in the eyes of God. \u00a0We see this again when Abraham made the lead servant over all he had swear by God that he would find a wife for Issac in line with God’s word. \u00a0Again we see Issac say to his son “do not take a wife outside of God’s word.” \u00a0In the new testament it was stated another way for broader application in our lives “do not be unequally yoke with unbelievers.” \u00a0How many times are people asking you “what do you think about the plans I am making?” \u00a0It is good for us to know how to respond. \u00a0Some things seem minor and others seem major decisions. \u00a0Know What God’s word says allows us to season our response in line with the light of His word. \u00a0\u00a0Other times it is good for us to “Pray” specifically in line with God’s word. \u00a0I know of a mom who got to know the young woman her son was dating. \u00a0She did not think this young woman was right for her son and believed God gave her insight into this. \u00a0This mom began to Pray specifically that her son would see that this young woman was not right for him. \u00a0She also asked other ladies to pray in line with this. \u00a0I am not sure the length of time she and others prayed but she told me of a phone call she received from her son. \u00a0She said he called with tears and a heavy heart telling her that he had broke up with his girlfriend because he felt she was not right for him. \u00a0Godly moms are a blessing to their sons and daughters. \u00a0Praying moms are a blessing to their sons and daughters. Another time a father told me how he stood by his daughter many times holding her in his arms telling her do not cry sweetheart God has a man for you. \u00a0She waited and waited and he continued to hold her and tell her God will supply a godly man for you. \u00a0I did not ask him how he prayed and for how long he prayed for her but I do know that God supplied his daughter with a godly husband. \u00a0The mom of the son and the father of daughter still talk of this work of God and proclaim His faithfulness. \u00a0Both of their children are married now to godly spouses. \u00a0Knowing God’s word builds our faith in the one and only true God who is all powerful, faithful, and able to do more than we ask and much more than we can imagine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
