Cherish your wife and value the water

Good morning everyone! Another great day to be alive in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! WOW! What a blessing. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.


Proverbs 5:15-17 "Drink water from your own well -- share your love only with your wife. Why spill the water of your springs in the streets, having sex with just anyone? You should reserve it for yourselves. Never share it with strangers."Drink water from your own well is a picture of faithfulness in marriage. It means to enjoy the spouse God has given you. In desert lands, water is precious, and a well is a family's most important possession.

In Old Testament times, it was considered a crime to steal water from someone else's well, just as it was a crime to have intercourse with another person's spouse. In both cases, the offender endangers the health and security of family.

In contrast to much of what we read, see, and hear today, this passage urges couples to look to each other for life-long satisfaction and companionship. Lust, and taking action on lustful thoughts are great tools for satan. A moment of satisfaction, or life-long satisfaction as God commands us? Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
