2nd Chronicles 21:6. “And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord.”
JEZEBEL’S DAUGHTER. He is bent over in pain day after day – The food may taste sweet but there is a price to pay For making wrong choices when one is comparatively young. Now you have lost everything except your youngest son.
You were given the place of honor but that wasn’t enough. You killed your own brothers and claimed all their stuff. What ever happened to you to make you so evil? It was marrying that woman when the yoke wasn’t equal!
Many will not listen to common sense and reason. But deliberately do what is wrong thinking it is only for a season. A lifetime with the wrong person always has serious consequences. She will break down walls of separation and leave you defenseless.
Take time to consider before donning a life-yoke; Listen to those who are older and when they spoke To warn you for danger that you didn’t know then, Would turn you from righteousness to the pathway of sin.
Now your family is gone except an evil wife and one son. You are living in pain as a consequence of what you have done. There is no one to blame; you made the decision – And your suffering is beyond the help of any physician.
Jezebel’s daughter may have looked good to your eyes; But the consequences of that marriage are not a surprise. Living for self and not God can bring no good end. Unequal yokes always unhappy results will send.
Look at that poor man with his insides gushing out. Better than speeches his message does shout – “Start off right, determined to do what God says is best, Or you’ll end up like me – hopeless and finding no rest!”
“O God, I pray that the young people who are asking for some guidance as to who they should marry, will listen in time. Most have already made up their minds as to the person before they ask for some counsel. They hope counsel will make things work out well. Give me wisdom to help them in some way make wise decisions before they have gone too far down the wrong road. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
