Better to be a thief.......

Good morning everyone! Another great day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. Some were surprised at the writings yesterday, the immoral woman or prostitute. This is in Proverbs 6 and Jesus said if we lust in the heart we have committed sin. Be careful.

Proverbs 6:30-35 "Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving. But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house. But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself. He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased. For the woman's jealous husband will be furious, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge. He will accept no compensation, nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size."

Wow! We can excuse the thief, however, he must pay back how many times? Seven! So, he steals 1 loaf of bread he must pay back 7 loaves. Even if he has to sell all he has he will make the situation right. But what about the man who commits adultery?

Some people may argue that it is all right to break God's law against sexual sin if nobody gets hurt. The reality is, someone always get hurt. With adultery the spouses are devastated and the children are scarred. The emotional scars are deeper than the physical. Even if no disease or pregnancy occurs, the element of trust and the ability to be completely open to another will be altered.

God's laws are not arbitrary. They do not forbid good, clean fun. Instead, they warn us against destroying ourselves through unwise actions. Take time, LET GO - LET GOD! Thank you for reading. Feedback please-any one interested in a study in Revelations? Please let me know so I can get all my commentaries together. Love ya'll!

In Christ's Love and Grace
