Proverbs 7 – Faithfulness to the Word

 

Keeping the Lord’s commands is the best protection against promiscuity and relational ruin. Faithfulness to the Word creates faithfulness in the heart. Affairs begin in the mind. The heart is the doorway to one’s mind and life, and the adulterer uses enticing words – especially flattery – to push it wide open.

 

When wisdom is your sister, you will not be seduced by the tempter. Your feet will not go near the house. And if he would come after you, your heart will see through all the enticements and have no desire for the tempter.

 

Expensive tapestries cannot cover the ugliness of sin, and the most aromatic spices cannot turn the stench of sin into fragrant perfume. No matter what temptation offers you, look beyond the externals and see it as it really is.

 

You are made in the image of God, but sin drags you down to the level of the beast and eventually to the level of Satan himself.
