More bitter than death
-
Ecclesiastes 7:26 says, “And I find something more bitter than death: the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.”
Solomon was given wisdom by God, yet many of the decisions he made in his life were not wise. One of Solomon’s greatest down falls was his wives. He married many, many women from many nations around the world. These women led Solomon away from God. Even though he was led astray, he still knew the dangers of a wicked woman, he just didn’t listen to his own advice.
A wife can be the single biggest encouragement in our life or the single biggest struggle. It is very important that a spouse is chosen carefully.
