Adultery Always Dishonors and Consumes its Victims – (Proverbs 5:7-10)

Daily Proverbs

Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth. Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house, Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one; Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner.

Daily Bible Study
God's word gives us a stern warning regarding adultery and that is to follow the example of Joseph and flee far from it as fast as we can. Dear believer, remember there is no where we can go where God can't find us and no where we can hide where God can't see us. All sin, especially adultery is committed before the eyes of God and His holy angels. Since we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit this type of sin is especially destructive because it deals with our bodies which now, do not belong to us, but instead belong to God. Moreover, we are created in the image of God, thereby making this sin, especially destructive because it dishonors God's creation as well as His calling for both men and women.

It's critical to understand sin of this nature cannot stay hidden, once committed it dishonors our souls and destroys our lives. And remember, once the sin of adultery has been committed, you bring to life a monster. A horrendous beast that want's nothing more than to come screaming and kicking into our world seeking our destruction in as public a matter as possible. Dear child of God, we must understand this point clearly. If this sin were not so severe, Satan and this dark fallen world we live in would not promote it so heavily in our culture and in our media. The hook is lust, the bait is the lie of secrecy and all who are caught by this will be prepared for the meal of destruction which will destroy your life and hurt the lives of those around you.
