Scripture:
“The men refused to listen, so the Levite grabbed his wife and shoved her outside. The men raped her and abused her all night long. Finally, they let her go just before sunrise,” Judges 19:25 CEV
Observation:
The Levite in this story had a guest in his house and the men of his area wanted to have sex with the visitor. He said no, but then opened the door and sent his wife out to them and they raped her all night long. She died in the morning and the Levite was angry. He sent her out there knowing it was dangerous and they would rape her, then got really mad when she died.
Application:
You can’t bargain even a little bit the enemy. You can’t lower your standards, even for a moment. When you compromise with the enemy, you can expect to be taken advantage of. As believers, we must stand our ground and never give in or compromise our convictions.
Prayer:
Father, help me to never give in when the enemy wants me to surrender. Teach me to follow Your word, no matter what. Empower me to stand on truth and never back down. I want my life to bring Your praise and honor. You’re the best!
Jeff
