When God says...
“The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit; He who is abhorred by the Lord will fall there.” (Proverbs 22:14 NKJV)
We are warned of the great danger engaging the sweet talk of a seductress. You will certainly fall into the deep ditch of her enticements. Adultery and fornication, as with all sins, are spiritually fatal. Many lives are broken, families hurt, relationships damaged, businesses failing and spiritual journey abruptly interrupted because of men and women straying into adulterous grounds. Especially those who choose to deny God's rightful place in their hearts, they plunge straight down the pit of destruction, as the femme fatale trips their shaky footing.
But, those who choose to allow God in their lives, as we must - having been redeemed heftily by the blood of Jesus, have the Holy Spirit to guide our walk. He helps us avoid the snares and traps of the enemy of our soul. Resting in His grace by faith, He resides in us and makes our body His temple (1 Corinthians 6:19). He keeps us mindful and deliberate in our every step. He helps us stay away from 'that woman', as Apostle Paul exhorts us with this passage: "Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:18-20 NLT)
And I say, AMEN!
