“For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death” (Proverbs 7:26-27 KJV).
This boy wasn’t her first victim. She is a professional and she has been at it for a very long time. We could ask, “Why doesn’t God kill her?” Because God is using her. God used the Devil. God uses her to deceive and destroy those that reject His truth. She has been around for a long, long time. Those that reject God, they come and go.
One day God will be through with her also, thank God for that. One day Satan will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and that will be the end of it. One day God will create a new heaven and a new earth, and the curse will be gone—and that will be the end of that.
But boy, until then, sin is going to run rampant.
“For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her,” so who do you think that you are? Who do I think that I am that I can defeat her?
How about Adam? He lost. How about Noah? He was defeated by alcohol. How about David? He got caught looking out his casement window.
Many mighty men have been suckered by the strange woman, or by the enticements of sin in general.
“Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death,”
This is the sad result of hating instruction. It is the result of self-love and self-indulgence. “Her house is the way to hell,” you go in, but you don’t come out the way you went in.
Let’s read a chapter of Proverbs a day and see what God might have for us. As the Lord leads, share with us what God has shown you in a special way and by His grace let us build up a devotional repository. Let’s keep our knives and forks handy for some daily bread!
If anyone would like to be added to the ping list, please let me know either by post or by p.m.
And the world’s main focus these days is to normalize sexual sin.
Everything that God made beautiful, Satan counterfeits and makes ugly.
