Women in the Bible - Delilah

And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.


Judges 16:18

It is true that God has given to women certain ability to influence a man. This passage in Judges 16 deals with the issue of integrity in a woman's life. Integrity to a man's love (not to bring curses and snares upon him), integrity to the gifts that God has given (beauty, the ability to eke out a livelihood, ability to touch others' lives etc). It can be applied both in personal and professional life.

I pray that God will always give me the wisdom to use his gifts wisely (not for my earthly gain in any way) and never to sell my soul for anything in the world.

I do not want to betray the trust of my loved ones and more importantly, the trust that GOD puts in me.
