Hello and welcome to this unassuming sliver of cyberspace, dear Reader, and congratulations on finding yourself on this side of the grass yet again for one more day today; it is one of so many things that we have to be grateful for. It all starts with being grateful just to be alive.
Well, today's Proverb is - again! - a strong warning against the sin of adultery. There just has to be some reason that it's the point of discussion so often; the consequences must be really, really bad. I mean, that's what I get from it.
And years ago, in my early twenties before I got saved, I was the adulterous woman (and had a lengthy affair with a married man) and I do remember all the damage that caused everyone involved there by the very end of it (and, by God's grace, I've never repeated that particular evil and by His grace, will not for as long as I live). Being reminded to stay committed to the right path and avoid evil behavior is never a bad thing, so, there we have it: Proverbs 7.
Today IS the seventh day of the month; the weather here has been absolutely stunning during the day, even reaching up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. 😎
The whole "hate evil" theme lately persists; here it is again in verse ten of Psalm 97:
And there are many, many more passages that resonate with this same fact:
GOD HATES EVIL.
See, the Word of God IS the Word of God - the ENTIRE THING, not just my favorite, squishy soft little passages about Jesus' love.
It's all very, very simple - so simple that small children can follow Him. In fact, dear Reader, I submit to you that it is easier for children as they've not yet grown to be arrogant "educated" adults who have been poisoned by secular thinking.
