Warning:
[It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Psalm 118:8
As a new Christian during this time, I found what appeared to be three types of men. I detest categorizing, but as a woman I find myself doing this. I loosely used these three classifications:
• Worldly - These men were so far out in the world that discernment wasn’t even necessary. They were usually agnostic or atheistic and were living their lives accordingly.
• Wolves in sheep’s clothing - These men knew the Bible well. Their words said one thing, but their actions said another. I always needed and relied on God’s discernment in these instances.
• God-fearing men - These were men who not only knew the Bible but strove to be Christ-like.
I wanted a God-fearing man. I wanted one badly. But was I ready? It appeared that men had totally stopped looking in my directionand that those who did were nowhere near the type of godly man I longed for. Why had men stopped looking at me with any type of interest at all? This was a new experience for me. In the secular world, men read the desperation in my eyes and took advantage of it. Now I was being totally ignored. I also found out that it was very easy to transfer my old habit of admiring the “star” on the stage in a club to admiring the “star” in front of the Bible study classor just about any man who could recite from the Bible. But God was working in this area of my life. If I found myself attracted to a man, I learned to stand back and study him. I didn’t flirt at all.
It was easy to admire men who knew Christ or at least who appeared to know Him. But down deep I knew that I wasn’t ready for a godly relationship. I would have fallen head over heels and probably would have tried to entice him to bed in order to get the commitment. I still wasn’t healed, but I was learning to recognize that fact. I truly believe that God placed a hedge of protection around my newly found innocence. He protected me as long as I protected my heart.
