When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you,
To deliver you from the way of evil
From the man who speaks perverse things
From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness
To walk in the ways of darkness
Who rejoice in doing evil
And delight in the in the perversity of the wicked;
Whose ways are crooked
And who are devious in their paths;
To deliver you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words
Who forsakes the companion of her youth
And forgets the covenant of her God
For her house leads down to death
And her paths to the dead;
None who go to her return
Nor do they regain the paths of life
Prov. 2:10-19
It takes wisdom to be able to discern when one is drifting away into the oblivion. However, one without the spirit of discernment is easily carried away by what they call the pleasures of the world. For instance research shows that many young children that found themselves in evil company and ended up being caught in crimes are those who disregard God’s words, disobey their parents and go their own ways.
Some other easy traps are SEX and ALCOHOL. Sex is; itself, like alcohol. Hardly can any mortal man see the nakedness of a woman and be able to say no to that temptation. Yet it is a potent weapon in the hands of women to bring the unwary highly or lowly placed or even strong men of God down. What is more, it is now made easy. Women themselves do the wooing simply with their bare breasts. And the men cannot resist, except perhaps, those preserved by God! For the men who are fools, it is easy, their mouths are as sweet as the apple their eyes are seeing. They easily and majestically walk into the bosom of such women!
Alcohol is another deadly game that every unwary person will surely want to give a try. It is so enticing, beautiful in appearance, sweet in taste but more deadly than the venum of a poisonous serpent. Why don’t we all consider the above proverbs and become wise so that we may live?.
