DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 8-9; Ezekiel 33; John 12:20-50

 

[Dost thou] take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.  Judges 14:3
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. Judges 16:4

In both cases Samson chose to be unequally yoked to an unbeliever. Both of these women betrayed him to the Philistines! When seeking to know who God has chosen to be your life partner do not be deceived by good looks or other superficial characteristics nor by your emotions. Obey the Scriptures and go slowly and prayerfully and God will delight to lead you to the one of His choice. —David Croudace

I dare not choose my lot; I would not if I might;
Choose Thou for me, O Lord my God; so shall I walk aright.
—H. Bonar
