DAY 3- Proverbs 5
Today's passage, Proverbs 5, has one very clear message: Immorality will lead to one's decimation. Giving in to our lusts will lead us down a crooked path (though we may not even realize it). We will be snared by evil deeds, tied down, and we will die for lack of discipline. I think this is a warning that giving in to immorality starts a pattern of unhealthy life choices that errode our health and negate our wisdom. It corrupts our character and causes us to be egocentric.
God cautions us that if we choose adultery we will give away our best years. Strangers will take our wealth and all our hard work will make another man wealthy, instead of us!
God's plan is for us to rejoice in the wife of our youth. We should delight in her body and always be captivated by her love. Wow... that's powerful. Instead of a life of guilt, shame, dishonesty, and risk, we can enjoy a lifetime of intimacy, honesty, purity, closeness, support, gentleness, and playfulness.
Given such contrast, why do so many men choose the path to destruction?
