FORNICATION
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27
Esther 2:13-14
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
"… your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost..."
FORNICATION
After twelve months of preparation, the moment each maiden had been looking forward to arrived. It was her date with the king. She would be sent to spend one night in bed with the king. The king’s choice was based on purely carnal and sensuous criteria right from the beginning. He would marry her and make her queen if she pleased him. So anything she asked for to help her impress the king were provided for her for that night. And she must compete to please the king because the unsuccessful ones had a very sad end. If she failed to please the king, she would go to the "second house of the women" (Esther 2:14). i.e. as a reject sent to another house meant for concubines under a different custodian, Shaashgaz. The young woman would remain as a concubine for the rest of her life, but yet may not even see the king ever again, unless the king called for her. She was then doomed to a miserable and lonely life.
Do all these sound so unthinkable and immoral to you? But in reality, such activities and behaviours are more common and rampant today than you think. It is called dating, one-night-stand, even "love." In God’s eyes, sex within marriage is honourable, but outside of marriage it is fornication. Yet today, premarital sex is common. The world would call you a prude and deride you if you were a virgin. Teenagers are pressured and tempted into sins of the flesh. Young people involved in dating are most prone to fall into fornication. A young girl who wishes to gain the "love" or secure the "position" in the guy’s heart gives in to his physical advances and indulges in heavy petting. The Christian must keep his (or her) body unto sanctification, and not defile the temple of the Holy Spirit. "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God" (1Thess 4:3-5).
THOUGHT: How will I respond to sexual advances or innuendos?
PRAYER: Lord, help me to keep myself chaste and pure for marriage.
