When we think of wisdom, we often picture it as a blend of experience, insight, and knowledge that guides us through life. But have you ever considered that wisdom might be personified—not as a scholar or a sage—but as a woman?
In the Bible, wisdom is frequently referred to as she. This feminine portrayal is not just poetic; it's prophetic. It reveals the nurturing, intuitive, and discerning nature of true wisdom. And in a world where leadership is too often defined by power alone, this depiction reminds us that wisdom—feminine wisdom—has always been meant to lead, to protect, and to guide.
Many would have you believe that men set the standard and that women simply rise to meet it. But I’m here to tell you—that’s a lie.
Wisdom has always had a seat at the table, and her voice has always mattered.
Let’s look at Samson. His story in the Book of Judges shows us what happens when purpose is clear, but wisdom is missing in action.
Samson was born for greatness—chosen by God to deliver Israel from the Philistines.
Before he even took his first breath, God gave his mother instructions: her son was to be a Nazarite from birth (Judges 13:2–5). That vow came with strict boundaries—no alcohol, no cutting of hair, no touching dead things. These weren’t just rules—they were markers of his calling. God wanted Israel to see Samson and know it was Him working through him.
But while Samson’s mother was told about the vow, we don’t see that she taught him how to guard his gift. He was trained to fight, to be on the offense—but no one taught him defense. He knew he was called to conquer, but he didn’t understand that the enemy was quietly studying him.
Samson knew he was after the devil to destroy the enemy —but he didn’t perceive how much the devil was after his strength. why?!
He assumed the enemy would come with swords and spears, not seduction and soft words.
He thought strength alone would be enough. But love isn’t a shield if it’s blind. He didn’t recognize that Delilah wasn’t just a woman—she was a spirit, an assignment, sent to destroy him.
And how do we know? He had a weakness for women who weren’t good for him? Because he kept going back.
Someone should’ve warned him: Don’t give your strength to those who want your downfall. Don’t sleep with what God sent you to fight.
So many of us are just like Samson.
We know the devil is real. We know we have purpose. But we’re still giving our strength away to people who are being used against us. Why? Because we don’t recognize the enemy’s tactics. We think it’s just life, just love, just lust. But no—it’s war.
Wake up, Samson.
Queens—if you are self-sacrificing for people who don’t pour back into you, if you’re giving your peace, your body, your time, your wisdom, and your strength to someone who only drains you—you are living like Samson.
And just like him, you may think it’s a game because you keep surviving… until one day, you don’t.
Wake up, Queen. The enemy is after our marriages, our families, our daughters, and our sons. He doesn’t want a good time. He wants a generational collapse.
Mothers, raise your sons to recognize Delilahs in disguise. And daughters, teach them to discern the spirit behind the smile. Because sometimes Delilah shows up in a man. Yes, that same manipulative, seductive, destructive spirit can wear cologne and carry muscles.
Delilah isn’t a gender—it’s a spirit.
And the spirit of Delilah doesn’t want your love. It wants your legacy.
So guard your strength. Protect your oil. And teach your children to do the same.
Wisdom is a woman—and her voice is crying out in the streets. Are you listening?
