Sh’mu’el Bet (2 Samuel) 13:2, 10-16
Amnon became so obsessed with his sister Tamar that he became ill, for she was a virgin, and Amnon thought it would be impossible to approach her.
Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the room, so that I can have you serve me. Tamar took the cakes she had made and brought them into the room to Amnon her brother. But when she brought them near, so that he could eat, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me, my sister.” “No, my brother,” she answered him, “don’t force me! Things like this aren’t done in Isra’el; don’t behave so disgracefully! Where could I go with such shame? And as for you, you will be regarded as one of Isra’el’s vulgar brutes. Now therefore, please! Speak to the king, because he won’t keep me from you.” However, he wouldn’t listen to her; and since he was stronger than she, he overpowered her and raped her. But then he was filled with utter revulsion for her—his hatred of her was even greater than the love he had had for her before. Amnon said to her, “Get up, and get out of here!” “No,” she objected, “because throwing me out like this is an even worse thing than what you’ve already done to me!” But he wouldn’t listen to her;
Such is the way of sin in our lives. It may be a thought, just an idea but without having the Word of God written into one’s heart it grows till it is manifest in the physical just as with Amnon starving himself for Tamar. And when that selfish desire is fulfilled in the physical there is no spiritual filling so the hole that it was meant to fill in our lives becomes deeper and more destructive leading, if there is no repentance, to death. We are to flee from such thoughts and focus on the Word, read it, study it, write it on our hearts and trust in ADONAI in where he leads us in our lives. If we do this then as David says in the psalms, “we will be given the desires of our heart,” and we will have peace in our soul. Lord let me always fill myself with Your Word for I am a foolish man without Your direction. Lead me always in Your ways. I ask this in Yeshua’s name, amen.
