Eyes Eyes Ears Ears | Trust God’s Way

My son, pay attention to my wisdom, turn your ear to my words of insight, 2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge. 3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil…
There is a push in this world for you to believe that sex is the highest level of fulfillment
…4 but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. 6 She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it. 7 Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say. 8 Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house, 9 lest you lose your honor to others and your dignity to one who is cruel, 10 lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich the house of another. 11 At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent. 12 You will say, “How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction! 13 I would not obey my teachers or turn my ear to my instructors. 14 And I was soon in serious trouble in the assembly of God’s people.” Proverbs 5:4-14 (NIV)
Wisdom warns that sex outside of God’s way leads to ruin
15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well. 16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers. 18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.  Proverbs 5:15-18 (NIV)
Faithfulness in a God honoring marriage makes romance most fulfilling
21 For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths. 22 The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare them; the cords of their sins hold them fast. 23 For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly. Proverbs 5:21-23 (NIV)
Will you trust that God’s way is the best way to live?
