Proverbs 29 & 7 Flattery

Man, I hate to go back to work, but it will keep me on my schedule and doing my Bible studies at the same early morning when I enjoy it most. Hey, how about a quick visit about pride or flattery. This will be short and hope you get something from it. I am really talking, visiting, no scre-aming at myself. Proverbs 29:5 TO FLATTER PEOPLE IS TO LAY A TRAP OF THEIR FEET. You can be vulnerable to flattery because you are likely to be the object of attention. Don't we all enjoy attention or being acknowledged? Flattery is a dangerous trap because it is manipulative. Flattery may disguise anger, ambition, or any number of not so good motives.....ulterior motives? Proverbs 7:21-23 SHE SEDUCED HIM WITH HER PRETTY SPEECH. WITH HER FLATERY SHE ENTICED HIM. HE FOLLOWED HER AT ONCE.....HE WAS LIKE A BIRD FLYING INTO A SNARE, LITTLE KNOWING IT WOULD COST HIM HIS LIFE. WOW!!!! Are these words strong!!!! In its most dishonest and deceptive form, flattery is a lie that leads into sin. Leaders, male and female, must beware of the flattery that can lead to sexual compromise. It could cost him his life. This is not refering to just earthly life, but possibly life everlasting. Pretty scarry. Feedback please. Love you all... have a super day in the Lord...Jesus loves you bunches.In Christ's Love and GraceJohnny
