HIS eyes are upon you

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. This week we have been talking about staying away from the immoral woman and cherishing the wife of our youth.

Proverbs 5:21-23 KJV "For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray."

First, in verse 21 - everything, EVERYTHING you do is "before the eyes of the LORD." You cannot hide anything from God. You can hide it from me, your spouse, your best friend, but GOD always sees and knows.

The LORD ponders all the goings of man and has assigned bitter and severe consequences to the sin of sexual promiscuity. Sexual sin ruthlessly incarcerates the participants. The cords of this sin wrap themselves around the very soul of the participant until he cannot free himself, even though he may desire freedom. Think of the small child who takes a cookie and was told not to. He knows not, but gives way to the temptation. The consequences for this is minor compared to what GOD will hand out--justly.

Verse 23 says he will die for lack of self-control. He will be lost because of his great foolishness. His great sins have led him beyond the reach of God's grace. Where do you sit today? Our Father in heaven is watching! Again, where do you sit today? Thank you for reading today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
