Proverbs 5
Whew…If you play with fire you WILL get burned. The flesh may heal but the scars always remain. This Proverbs is all about evading the trap that comes when we pursue the sensation of pleasure ‘by any means necessary’. The sensation isn’t always sexual charged initially, sometimes it’s emotionally charged, substance influenced, fueled by loneliness, a less than relationship with Christ, and the list can go on but no matter the excuse the result of sin always brings long and short term disaster. A few keys to defeating sexual sin is to remain aware of the devil’s desire to destroy your life, know your weakness, have a plan of escape when temptation comes, stay accountable to God, yourself and someone else…yes, get an accountability buddy. We are not meant to do life alone whether in good times or bad. I would like to assume that Jesus had many women expressing their infatuation with Him but He resisted it. I know we aren’t perfect but the perfect one lives in us, is always with us, and He has made a way of escape for us. The hard part is proactively, consciously, and with vengeance deciding to avoid, ignore & rebuke partaking of ‘the fruit of evil’. Like anything we accomplish or fail to accomplish we have to decide what is important to us, plan a course for success and act in His power.
In His Power,
