May 27 I Kings 11 Being Unequally Yoked

Once again, we come to a warning about being unequally yoked in marriage - to an unbeliever. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, also had a sexual lust problem - like his dad. His sexual lust led him to take on wives and concubines who were pagan idol worshippers. Instead of Solomon changing them, they changed Solomon - and the destiny of a nation for centuries!

People continuously look past these clear warnings in Scripture and wind up shipwrecking their faith and negatively impacting those around them for years and years - for generations. We all need to stop looking for commands - what must I do - and read the narratives like this and focus on what should I do and what can I do to be holy.

The LORD wants us to be holy as He is holy. Without holiness, no one will see the Lord.
