Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. 9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
Again, Job’s wife more than likely was a God-fearing person, up to that point when satan was allowed to shake down everything they’d worked for over the years. As the heat of the furnace was ratcheted up for several notches, Job’s wife became increasingly desperate, and made a suggestion, which she would not have made under normal circumstances.
Again, the two women who had birthed children in the same location in Solomon’s day, brought their case before the king for resolution, after one of the women became so desperate, that she resorted to stealing the other’s baby, something she would not have done under normal circumstances.
Again, some individuals can become so desperate to get married that they will settle for someone who may not fit the bill. And as loneliness and aging take a toll, some go into a panic mode, only to suffer the proverbial buyer’s remorse after tying the knot. This is what took place with Samson, who believed that it was now or never, do or die, in marrying someone whom God did not approve of.
2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
