When God says...
"To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress. Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids. For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life." (Proverbs 6:24-26 NKJV)
He continues to remind us the destructive cost of sexual sin. He stresses the importance of keeping alive in our heart our parents' reminders from the words of God. His words strengthen us, so as not be pulled by the spell of an adulteress. Or, not be driven by lust to chase the fatal attraction of the devil's seduction tools. Using the analogy of a crust of bread, a person who allows to be captivated and succumb to an object of intimacy outside God's blessing of marriage is cut down to insignificance. Kept unchecked, lusting after a harlot would result to a great loss of one's wealth, freedom, family, purity, integrity and soul.
Hence, we are urged to stand by God's words to give strength to our spirit, so we can be instep in our walk with God. Scriptures exhort us with these words - "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16 NKJV)
And I say, AMEN!
