Proverbs 6

(As the Holy Spirit ministers to me while reading it)

Choose your words with caution and be careful that you don’t commit yourself beyond what you are capable of doing because you want to be a person of character and integrity and if you can’t deliver it will defile this. If you have found that you have put yourself in this position go to the one who you made the promise to and ask for their forgiveness in all humility realizing what a big mistake you have made. Don’t wait until tomorrow thinking that it is going to be a more opportune time because now is the time that it needs to be handled. The further that you let it go the harder it is going to become for you to deal with.

Regarding the promises that you have made, take the example of the ant one of the smallest of God’s creations). It has no boss looking over its every move telling it what to do and what not to do. It simply does what it knows to do so that it can survive and thrive. It works not just for the “here and now” it looks at the long term realizing that immediate satisfaction will not produce longevity. Why would we want to spend one more second of being outdone by this little creature? Why are we acting like spoiled lazy couch potatoes wanting everything to be simply handed to us? We have been given talents and abilities… we need to use them! If we don’t our financial ruin is waiting in the shadows for the right moment to take us out and if we aren’t doing what we need to be doing we will be defenseless against its attack!

Do we want to be like the devil himself spewing out crude language and sexual innuendos? Flirting with people and giving cunning looks to others while blaming others for their shortcomings? These type of people are riddled with addictions to sexual perversion and pornography and try to find ways to seduce people into their sexual lusts. Beyond that these type of people try to divide people while playing a political “gossip game” to try to work things to their advantage. These people are so deceived by the enemy that they don’t realize that they are bringing on their own destruction and when it happens it will be too late… there will be nothing they can do about it. There will be no fix to this destruction either. You see, the Lord can’t stand or put up with the following:

1. A person who walks around acting like they are better than everyone else.
2. A person who deceives others.
3. A person who tries to murder a righteous person who has done no wrong. This just in the physical realm but this is a person who tries to murder that individual’s reputation.
4. A person who schemes against God and God’s people.
5. A person who is ready to jump on the bandwagon to support others that devise all of the evil listed here.
6. A person who knows the truth but will sooner speak against it for their own selfish gain.
7. A person who tries to create division in the Body of Christ.
   

Your parents have taught you well and if they haven’t you have a heavenly father who has picked up the slack in this area. Obey every word that you were taught and do not neglect them as you get older. Instead remind yourself of them so that you can keep your head held high in the midst of adversity. This teaching and training will be a continual point of reference that you can go to as you are moving along in life. You will have a peace and a confidence and will not have to worry about “sleepless nights”. You will be well rested for the day and you will be able to hear the Lord’s voice in every situation. That word will help you see the truth in every situation. If you get caught in a place where you aren’t supposed to be it will be quick to correct you. It will point out the ones that are trying to seduce you and whisper those “sweet nothings” in your ear. Beyond getting caught in an adulterous situation with that individual be sure to not even entertain the thought of it in your mind, let alone your heart. They will give you looks and stroke your ego but realize this person is a filthy perverted individual that is more interested in your destruction for their gain. They have no regard to the fact that you are a child of God but simply see you as their next meal ticket and will devour you so that you become useless. Why even play with this fire with the certainty of getting burnt? Why trade in that well lit path that leads to life with this path that will bring scars to you and kill you? Those who lust after someone other than their own spouse or lusts after someone else’s spouse not only bring destruction to themselves but to the ones that they lust after. They don’t care because they are numb to what is right or wrong. If someone is without that does not mean that they have the right to steal. These individuals are obligated to give back seven times the amount that they have stolen. This is even if that means it is everything they have. Also, an adulterer has not truly taken in the full value of God’s word and has chosen the pat of ignorance. They will be shown openly to the others how fowl they have become and this will create a reputation that is near impossible to clear. There is nothing that can be done that will satisfy the anger and mistrust of the spouse of the individual who the adultery has been committed against. No matter how hard they try and how much they pay.
