“Such is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness.” (Proverbs 30:20 KJV)
This passage is pointing to the path travelled by many. Yes, that pattern of life that chose to cuddle with the world and all its offerings to satisfy the desires of the flesh and for material things. It is adultery, a model for idolatry. Like an adulterer and adulteress allowing oneself to be captivated by pursuits for the physical, gobble it like a glutton, railroading others on the way, then say 'I'm good'. They make their material pursuits their god, turning away from the true God, akin to a spouse defiling the purity of marriage bed.
We are warned to not love the world and the things in it, lest it takes the place of God. As His sons and daughters through grace by faith in Christ Jesus, let's be reminded always - “We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:19-21 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
