The Two Women in a Man's Life

Today's Quote:  "People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray." - Prov. 10:17

There's no doubt that women are very important in men's lives. For every man there are two women wooing him to their sides: Wisdom (Prov. 9:1-12) and Folly Prov.9:12-end. They have specific and life-tranforming roles to play in a man's life.

The woman called Wisdom is out to prosper the man and make him live a fulfilled life while the 2nd Woman called Folly is out to destroy the man's life beyond repairs. A woman comes into a man's life in many forms. She can come as wise or foolish mother. She can come as a wise or foolish sister. She can come as a wise of foolish wife-to-be. She can graduate to the position of a wise or foolish wife. She can come as a wise or foolish Auntie, Cousin, half-sister or even close associate.

If you see a bachelor behaving well or otherwise, there's a woman behind that - his mother. If you see married man behaving well or otherwise, there's a woman behind him - his wife. If you see a man married and prospering well, there are not less than three women in his life: his mother, his wife and some good women he has as friends or colleagues.

The truth is that a man cannot avoid a woman in his life. No he hasn't that choice because in the first place he is brought into this world through a woman and he is born into a family that is filled with women already.  All these women (no matter how directly or remotely connected they are) can make or mar his destiny.

The antidote for a man not to fall into a foolish woman's trap is to keep his eyes wide open as to which of the two women she is dealing with at home, in his office and so on. It is easy to decipher which is wise or foolish woman. As he relates with them a man should watch out for traces of women who give bad advice; who instigates people against one another,who through their utterances and actions scatter the man's home or instigate him against his other colleagues in the office. If you see a woman who is too greedy for gain or is too materialistic in nature or a woman who wants to hasten you to do things that is contrary to the will of God for your life or something your conscience tells you is bad, that woman belong the Foolish fold. Above all the greatest attribute of a woman called "Folly" is self-centredness.  She will always discourage the man from GIVING either to God or to man She wants everything for herself - God and other people do not matter to her. 

But if you see the ones that encourage you to do good,  unite your family, help you to be visionary and hard working, who are contributing directly to your progress (financially, materially and intellectually), it doesn't matter whether she is a mother, wife, or they are sisters, Aunties, cousins, friends or colleagues in your office, etc stay glued to them for they will build you. Good morning.
