Throughout the Scriptures, men are warned about the dangers of evil women. While these warnings are certainly relevant for godly women seeking to avoid evil men, today we will be specifically talking about how women can destroy men.
Every woman is different, so there is no single formula that guarantees how a woman will know a man is “the one” she should marry someday. Some women feel it quickly, others slowly. Some are more emotional, others are more analytical.
If you’re a Christian single man who wants to glorify the Lord in marriage one day, one of the most significant barriers blocking this blessing is your unwillingness to let a woman go who is not your future wife.
In a way, a Christian man should be “nice” if you mean respectful, kind, thoughtful, etc. But I’m not using the word “nice” like that. I’m using it to mean a man who is “a pushover,” “soft,” “non-confrontational,” or “weak.” I’ll explain more in the points ahead.
There are not a ton of godly women walking around just waiting to be pursued by a godly man. Ironically, however, there are a lot of women who think they are godly and who think they want a godly man to pursue, but in reality, this type of woman is very hard to find . . . but not impossible!
Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”
When the favor of the Lord is upon you, it doesn’t mean ease and a comfortable life. Rather, it means God will use you in powerful ways for his purposes. And God has designed most men to be most effective with a godly woman by their side (Genesis 2:18).
Therefore, here are four biblical marks of a woman sent by God to help you grow.
Is your desire for that woman from yourself or is it actually coming from the Lord?
A woman sent by God will be a blessing (Proverbs 18:22). Satan, however, always seeks to do the opposite of God. Therefore, he will send you a woman to be a curse.
Should a Christian man even care about how he dresses? Isn’t it vain to think about what clothes and apparel would be most appealing to a Christian woman? And shouldn’t godly women care more about a man’s heart than his appearance?
