Cutting Off Delilah, Finding Your Esther

In her lap, she caressed his hair. Longing to know the source behind his strength, not knowing it was in her hands. Samson, deceived/seduced by the attraction Delilah, fail into the trap of conspiration. Like the Ides of March, Julius Caesar, he was betrayed by the one he thought was close to his heart. But, in her lap, he laid, in her lap, she caressed his thoughts into believing, she was on his side. It was there the enemy stepped in, the conspirators and the traitor, withdrew strength, not from his hair, but from the source of his strength, his FATHER in Heaven. (Judges 13-16)......................................

But Esther waited patiently. She adhered to the words of her uncle. On the Lord she waited, and it was there, in her waiting, she found favor with the King. In the royal courts, was Esther able to not conspire against her people, but to be their secret weapon that the Lord would use to bring HIS people from the wraft of the enemy. Esther, a pure and whole vessel, that the Lord was able to use to captivate the mind, body, and spirit of the king. (Read the Book of Esther).....................................

Would you say Delilah was a delightful temptation? Would you say Esther was more than favored and pleasing to the sight of the king? Who would you say was the prime example of the Proverbs 31 Woman? Who would you say you are, not just in your relationship with man, but with Christ?.......

This is a letter, a thought, a reminder, to my own inner woman and the outter woman of me; my letter, a thought, a reminder, from a womans heart to the heart of a woman who is trying to give her heart to a man. Who are you? Are you a pure vessel, waiting for your time to be used by the right man of God or are you sleeping with a man whose heart you are only deceiving?

Many times in relationships women are quick to blame the man as the "dog" and never see ourselves as the "tramp". That may sound ugly, but it's true. We cover up our mistakes, and highlight, illuminate, and constantly remind ourselves that ALL fingers point to him. Whatever the case may be, evaluate who you are. Don't get caught up in being Delilah. What do I mean? Do not spend time drawing out a man's strength by seducing him, that you have no need or desire for in the end. If your plan is to deceive, put your motives into check.

Today women are not seeking for the king of their lives, the husband, the prince charming or the knight in shining armor. Instead, they are looking for the sugar daddy, the pimp, or the baby daddy. Is that how you really want to live your life?

Think about it...

You have a future that lives inside of you. For your future you want to be paired with the perfect man of God who is going to nurture and fertilize what is in you. Not just your children, but who you are as a woman of God. He has to be able to crown you, compliment you, care for you, his heart captivated by just the simple thought of you. Can you imagine, meeting a man who is so fond of you, he can't take his eyes off of you. He won't just do for you, but he will be so delighted by you he will care for whatever desires or needs that's placed on your heart. Whatever dreams you have that's God given, he will be there to support you through your worst, as you mature, and through your best. Don't allow Delilah to conquer your Esther. Instead of seeking after a man of great valor, seek after the GOD who has ALL power. Hide yourself in HIM and HE will set you up with favor that's pleasing to your earthly King. (to be continued)
