Ecclesiastes 2:14
The wise man has eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both.”
The whole scope of life comes down to heaven or hell. We are souls and for believers in Christ our citizenship is in heaven. Satan knows this better than we give him credit for. Why then are we to believe that Satan would not want to be involved in our personal relationships. We spend the most time and are influenced by our spouses. We should walk in light not darkness.
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
2 Corinthians 11:13 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Satan has a plan for each of us. We must seek God first and pray for discernment. Many men can masquerade as Christians and not be, even Satan knows the bible. Look for fruits of the spirit, over time. Anyone can fake love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control but not for an extended amount of time. The earthly qualities of a man may all be their but if he isn’t a Christian or he doesn’t have a relationship with Christ, move on. How tempting is it to think he will change and believe. Satan is cunning and the father of lies. Dating an unbeliever is straying from God’s plan and falling into Satan’s plan for your life.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
2 Corinthians 4:4 In their case, the god of this age (Satan) has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Satan blinds unbelievers to not see the gospel, and while it is true that every one of us were blind at one point in time. God is clear not to marry an unbeliever. The person may come to God and become a believer but God will give you the right person at the right time and if the man doesn’t believe right now he isn’t for you.
Prayer for today:
Lord please let me trust your process in bringing me a man of God. I trust your timing and wanting to be equally yoked. Allow me to have discernment in dating and to not let Satan distract me from a partner that you would give me. In Jesus name, Amen
