« For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; »
1My son, pay attention to my wisdom; listen carefully to my wise counsel.
2 Then you will show discernment, and your lips will express what you’ve learned.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison, as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.
6 For she cares nothing about the path to life. She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.
7 So now, my sons, listen to me. Never stray from what I am about to say:
8 Stay away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house!
9 If you do, you will lose your honor and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
10 Strangers will consume your wealth, and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
11 In the end you will groan in anguish when disease consumes your body.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline! If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers? Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?
The creation of the woman is one of the best things to happen to man.
God described the woman as a ‘help meet’ for man in Genesis 2:18.
When women are abused however, they become strange and can turn into a problem for any man who crosses their paths.
As a man, a strange woman is that lady who is not approved by God to see your nakedness in any ramification- physical or emotional.
No woman apart from your wife, should know your secrets.
- This is equally applicable to a woman.
When someone other than your husband knows everything about you, the fellow may use the information against you someday.
Many marriages have been destroyed as a result of careless conversations with strange people.
- As a Christian husband, you must learn to discuss your issues with your God-ordained wife and not strange women, if you want to get the best of God’s provision in your wife.
Proverbs 5:15,17-18 NLT says:
« 15 Drink water from your own well— share your love only with your wife. 17 You should reserve it for yourselves. Never share it with strangers. 18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth »
Strange women are deceitful in everything, even in their looks.
That explains why a lot of them have to hide their real face under heavy makeup as if they are dissatisfied with how God has created them.
A man’s legitimate wife would not need heavy makeup before she looks attractive to him.
You begin to wonder who strange women are trying to impress- their husbands who are already familiar with their bodies or men who do not have access to their private life. Proverbs 5:7-9NLT says
7 So now, my sons, listen to me. Never stray from what I am about to say:
8 Stay away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house!
9 If you do, you will lose your honor and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved. »
Whether you are a man or woman, married or single, you must match out for ungodly relationships or those with the potential to turn into such, with members of the opposite sex.
May the Lord help you as you do so.
Application – Establish godly boundaries for all dealings with members of the opposite sex. The only intimacy God approves of is with your spouse.
