Love Wisely

"Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah." Judges 16:4 NKJV

When you love someone, you have a soft spot for them, and it ends up being your weakness. The same thing happens when you love "things" - money, power, pleasure, etc, you have a soft spot for it, and it becomes a weak point.

In other words, the easiest way to get to you is by who or what you love! When the devil wanted Job to curse God, who did he send to him? His wife! When he, the devil, tried to make Jesus not to die on the cross, he didn't send a stranger, he used Peter to try to talk him out of it! And of course, you know how Adam fell; Satan got him through his wife that he loved.

Demas' love for the world made him backslide. Are you getting the point? If you have love for the wrong persons or things, that is, persons without the fear of God, persons not genuinely saved, and things that are contrary to the Spirit, they could result in your downfall. Samson loved Delilah and it cost him his strength, his ministry and his life! Who are you in love with? What are you in love with? Be not unequally yoked, dear brothers and sisters; love not the world.
