I believe this is a warning to all believers, especially men, to stay away from the spirit of this world. The fear of the Lord is wisdom; and if we truly fear God, we are going to hate evil, that’s the only way it works.
When we love purity of mind and have, thirst for righteousness and godliness, and also put God’s Word into our mouths, God’s eternal faithfulness won’t forget, all our activities of love. And if the righteous and holy God, must preserve and really hide you and I, in the secret place of His loving-kindness, the onus, rests on us to make sure that we abide in His love and that His love abides in us; for that is the intent of the Immortal , and the Invisible God concerning you and I. All these are things that are worthy of acceptance, and it is only for whosever dare to trust and honour the dictates of God. And that is, in all it’s different dimensions. The truth is, when God’s divine ordinances are put into practice, that is love and humility in place-and He can’t but shed His glory on whatever we set our hands upon; for He is the faithful God. His love is forever commendable and dependable.
Keep in mind that Solomon was "wise", a "King" and a "Prophet". Be it a tragic story from Verse 1-23. Verse 24-27 is Prophecy. When he says in verse 24, as in so many others verses of God’s word, when He says "O YE CHILDREN" the Lord is usually speaking to ISRAEL. The "harlot" here represents the "enemy", as in Revelation, the "Whore of Babylon". The Lord warns of how many men she has killed and that she's headed straight for hell.
As like any scripture written in the king james authorized version bible, it is the truth and full of wisdom. Praise The Lord we have this freely to guide us.
someone can put up warnings of danger,flags,cold water in the face,and etc.to a person with no effect if someone has made a decision to serve the enemies of JESUS.its sad,i have been there and am still impressionable too.be on guard...WE are the VICTORS.
I BELIEVE we all go into trials and troubles.KEEPING JESUS in focus is mandatory.IF NOT ,REASONS and excuses for not doing things with JESUS PEOPLE creep into the picture.shame or guilt is sometimes the motivator for poor CHURCH ATTENDANCE.I KNOW,THAT USED TO BE ME.I HAD TO GET OVER IT.SWALLOWING PRIDE IS HARD...JESUS LOVES A REPENTIVE HEART...
Fathers, take time with your sons. Teach them right so the "strange woman" will not lead him astray...the spirit of Jezzabel is a wicked one and very tempting to youths and the strongest of men bend to her...Fathers, hear Gods word and stear your sons in wisdom and understanding.
I wil say wisdom is d principle of life so he that have it have a good thing and his wise. Some most people during national celebration that is wen dy remember to go out with there girl friend and do all manner of noisense that is not pleasing in GODs eyes which is not right in the eyes of GOD
On this independence day, while gleaning back over earlier chapters of Proverbs,as the sun is softly coming over the pine trees,vs.4 leapt out at me "SAY" unto WISDOM thou art my sister and "CALL" UNDERSTANDING thy kinswoman. It is dawning on my heart that we are commanded by the Lord, by the Word of God to verbalize, to confess, to speak, to confess the Word daily that WISDOM is mine and that UNDERSTANDING is mine! Even if you feel dumber than a bucket of paint. We are to call things that are not or at least have not been a working reality in our lives as though they are a present tense "NOW REALITY" regardless of circumstances, or the way we feel! I now confess, i say wisdom is my sister and understanding is my kinswoman! Why sister and kinswoman is being used here metaphoricaly? I think because one honors, respects, treasures, and protects their sisters,aunts, and mothers with tender love and purity.Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom.10;13 Saved from future wrath and present ignorance! Praise the Lord!
Wow! ch.7 is profound amplified warning against the "STRANGE WOMAN & the STRANGER" vs 5 which flattereth with her words! Flattery makes one "feel good"! Appealing to flesh but whats wrong with "good" is it has 1 to many 0's the issue is to rather be of GOD. Again this applies behond pyhsical but also spiritual! Note false religion is out in the streets coming at you. In MT.23:15 Jesus said,"they compass sea & land to make one proselyte & make him a 2 fold child of hell.In vs.19 we see Jesus as the "goodman" gone back to heaven on a long journey, as He assended from mt.Olivet Acts 1:8-12. & vs.20 He will come back at the day appointed. Amen Jesus is coming back soon. Acts 1:11 And we see in the last vs.27 that the direction of all "works religion" Mama Babylon"s house is going to hell down to the chambers of death.
The book by Ian Paisely "A Proverb a day keeps the Devil away" is a great book! I have read a Proverb a day for many, many years! There are an average of 30 days in a month and there are 31 chapters in Proverbs! Attempt, every day, to read at least one chapter of proverbs a day! For example... May 7th read Proverbs Chapter 7! You would be AMAZED at how it will change your life!
Satan has sat us up, can we see what GOD is saying?He wants us to get into His word and get direction for our lives to know that when the enmy comes that we should look to HIm not the desires of our heart or the lust of our hearts.
Ecclesiastes 12:13," Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep hIS commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man." Exodus 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS and my laws? Exodus 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. Leviticus 22:31 Therefore shall ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, and do them: I [am] the LORD. Leviticus 26:3 If ye walk in my statutes, and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, and do them; Deuteronomy 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. also ( 1 Kings 9:6; 2 Kings 17:13; Nehemiah 1:9; Proverbs 3:1; Proverbs 4:4; Proverbs 7:2; John 14:15; John 15:10) Matthew 7:21," Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
