Why Men Should Stay Away From Forbidden Women?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who heed King Solomon’s message about staying away from forbidden women. In Jesus’s name, amen.
Wise men stay away from the adulteresses with her smooth words.
In Proverbs 7:1-5 (ESV) King Solomon, writing God-given words, urges the readers of Proverbs to treasure up his commandments.
“My son, keep my words
and treasure up my commandments with you;
keep my commandments and live;
keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;
bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
and call insight your intimate friend,
to keep you from the forbidden woman,
from the adulteress with her smooth words.”
Speaking to his son, King Solomon, King David passed on fatherly advice. He wanted his children to value wisdom. He also wanted them to avoid the pitfalls of sexual sin.
Today, it is important to take the King’s advice. Steer clear of temptation and don’t let down your guard.
