Good Morning! Proverbs Day 5&6 Prov 5:3-4 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double edged sword. I'm not going to go into this alot, cause it is very self explanatory. Adultery is talked about in Prov 5, 6 and 7. Prov 6:29 So is he who sleeps with another mans wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished. This is talking about the fleshly Adultery! But a little something to think about, you know when Jesus comes into your heart, you become his bride. (I know guys its hard to think of us as Brides) So when we let sin or lust over something in this world take priority over our relationship with the Groom (Jesus) we are committing Adultery. But enough about that we all know it is not good to sleep with another mans wife or with another woman's husband. Now Prov 6:9-10-11 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest. And poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. We all know that if you don't work you cannot eat live and pay your bills. But this is just another take on these Vs, and remember these are just my opinions. Views of a Sinner! But I believe that, (and I am just coming out of this and waking up) so many of us when we become Christians that for a while we are On Fire for the Lord! But as we get a little older in our walk, we tend to become a little lazy. We tend to become Sluggards and kind of stagnant in our spiritual walk. We do all the right things, we go to church, we even carry our Bible with us everywhere. We go to Bible study. But when we get out of these things we fall back to sleep. We fold our hands for some rest. Cause lets face it, this being a Christian is a rough job! I need a little play time. So many of us as soon as we are done with these things we rest ourselves right back into the world and all the leisure things it has to offer. And by doing this we rob ourselves of all Jesus has to offer us if we would just be more diligent in our walk with Him. Now don't get me wrong we all need rest and relaxation. But let me ask you this? After church on Sunday are you in a hurry to get out of there? Do you have to get to the Restaurant or get home because the race or a football game is on. Are you neglecting having fellowship with others because the things of the world are more important? Or does the couch just always seem to be calling your name? When we are not working for Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven then we are just Sleep walking! I know it is time for me to wake up and get back to work, spreading the Good News of Jesus! After all we were all asleep with sin, but Jesus gave us life again through Grace and Mercy! So lets get up and share this life with others. And the only time we should be folding our hands is to pray! HABD!

Adultery and Laziness!
