Judges 21:21
And watch. When the young women of Shiloh come out to join in the dancing, rush from the vineyards and each of you seize one of them to be your wife. Then return to the land of Benjamin.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sat, May 29, WIVE (Judg. 21:21). Wive is the gift of God. If someone has a wife, he had a gift of God. Therefore, he has to seek a good one. If not, he still has a gift of God, a gift to help him change his characters. With a bad wife, he can learn many things. Here, we can see that The Israelites seek wives carelessly. They got wives from:
a. Catching.
They hid themselves and when they saw girls, they just rushed out, caught them and made them their wives.
b. Warring.
They went to war and brought home women to be their wives. They just didn’t care the face, the weight, the height, etc. As long as they were girls, they made them wives.
c. Receiving.
They could marry girls as their fellow Israelites gave to them. Whoever the girls, as long as their fellow Israelites gave them, they accepted them. So careless. So chaotic. So bad. So we have to be careful to find our spouse for us, for our children, for our family. ASH.
