I'm thinking today of a short powerful verse from the book of Proverbs. It is Proverbs 5 3
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey and smooth as an oil is her speech
It's a metaphor basically to say that she is very alluring honey was one of the sweetest
most wonderful and kind of expensive things that they had access to and
The fact that her speech flows like oil say that it's it's slippery
You can never quite get a handle on it. But also it's valuable or she appears valuable because that's the way oil was
She can talk you into doing what you would never do
I think the adulteress can also be a metaphor or at least the same descriptors apply
To a lot of alluring things in our lives and I kind of think that's the point
If something seems too good to be true, it probably is if it can lure you away from doing what's right
It's probably nothing for you
I
would encourage you today to look at your life as I try to look at my life every day and
examine what might be trying to lead me away from the right way away from God's way and
Realize that as good as it may look as good as it may seem to taste
As good as profitable as it may seem to be I want nothing to do with it. I want to do God's thing God's way
Praise God for the opportunity to do that today be encouraged. We love you. We're praying for you
We may not get you all by name, but we pray for the clients of the life-changing clients at new heights
Those who are on the fringe anyone anywhere who would be touched by this encouragement call may God lift you up and
Help you today in Jesus name. Amen
