“Warning Against Folly & Warning Against Adultery”

 

I find it interesting that even though there was a warning against adultery in Proverbs 5 that it continues in 6 and I know it doesn’t stop there because tomorrow we will be taking it a step further.  So how important do you think this is?  It’s obviously a hot button for God and important enough to be the theme of 3 chapters in the book of Proverbs since this is the book of gaining wisdom I think it wise to stay out of adultery.  The warnings against folly and adultery being in the same chapter also tells me that playing around with another person other than your spouse is just trouble looking for a place to happen even if you are just playing. In verse 16-19 it states that there are 6 things the LORD hates and 7 that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a man who stirs up dissention among brothers.  Now who of you have not done at least one of those things?  Well in the next section on adultery it says that a man who commits adultery lacks judgment and whoever does so destroys himself.  It also says the shame of his adultery will never be wiped away.  WOW, that’s a hard nut to swallow isn’t it?  Lust for another man’s wife is not good and will lead to pain and suffering not only to the two who are in adultery but to both families.  If you are doing these things it is time to stop and rethink your actions.  Is this affair worth a lifetime of shame?  Is it worth the destruction of families?  What about the children?  Are you setting a good example for them?  I pray that if you are in this situation that you break it off and go to Jesus for repentance and get cleansed by Living Water.  This sin you are living in leads to one thing, “Death” and maybe not a physical one but a spiritual one because God cannot be in the presence of sin.  If you hear that voice telling you to stop and you don’t stop it will eventually not be audible anymore.  Not that God approves but that you are so deep in your sin that you cannot hear Him anymore.  STOP! And repent before it’s too late!
