Contrary to popular myth, the way to a man’s heart is not through his stomach, but through his ego. Let a woman flatter him, make him feel important, indispensable, irresistible and he will follow her anywhere, even to the doorway of death. “With persuasive words” the wise man writes, “she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk…he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter…little knowing it will cost him his life” (Proverbs 7:21-23).
“Yet, as tragic as adultery is, the grace of God is greater still. “…God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him””
— 2 Samuel 14:14
Lord, teach us to take appropriate steps to guard ourselves. Amen.
