I have made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a young woman (Job 31:1)?

Have you dedicated your body to God?

The Angel of the Lord informs the unnamed wife of Manoah that her child “shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb” (Judges 13:5). He is to abstain from wine, having contact with a dead body, and is not to cut his hair (Numbers 6:1-6). Sadly, he defiles himself with the carcass of a lion (Judges 14:8-9), most likely drinks wine at the feast he gives (Judges 14:10), and subsequently has his hair cut (Judges 16:19). With his third act of disobedience comes the following statement when the Philistines attack him: “But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him” (Judges 16:20). Samson is set apart for God from birth; we are set apart from eternity to “be holy and without blame before Him” (Ephesians 1:4).

Employment Point: Present your bodily members as instruments of righteousness to God.
