2020 Feb 07 Proverbs 5, Psalm 119 Stanza 11A
Hello, wishing for some happiness to come your way this day! Let's continue in Proverbs 5, reviewing verses 3-4 and 8, then considering verses 11-15, then look into Psalm 119 stanza 11A, verses 81-84.
Do we want to regret our life looking back, saying "How I hated discipline!...I have come to the brink of complete ruin in the midst of the entire congregation?" Let us value needed discipline, and hate what is bad in God's eyes! May we especially learn to hate any violation of the marriage covenant, which is God's only provision for satisfying sexual desires. God commands: "Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement, for God will judge sexually immoral people [or, "fornicators"] and adulterers." (Hebre 13:4). When married partners love God and each other, sex allows them to express their loyal love and likely bear children that can be raised in a secure, loving home by both mother and father, in harmony with God's ways. Often with God, we need only faithfully wait a little longer to experience many blessings from Him! If someone tries to entice you, refuse to participate! Says Proverbs 10:22, "It is the blessing of Jehovah that makes one rich, and He adds no pain with it." Thus avoid sinning in this matter--is it true love to do what could cause another to lose out on eternal happiness with a loyal marriage partner, teaching them disloyalty to God? To move us to "hate what is bad" that we may make wisely "shrewd" decisions, may we realize that such sin, any serious sin, can result in headaches, heartaches, heartbreaks, troubles, turmoil, grief, sadness, and pain, for ourselves and others, along with the work spiritually necessary, with the help of spiritual shepherds, to try to get back on track after such sin, as well as personal efforts to do what we can to right the wrong to the best of our ability. While it is worth the effort to recover, how much better to see the consequences of badness, and stay far away from such sin in the first place, remaining close to God and others spiritually, finding true joy in living in accord with God's will and word!
