Daily Devotion of Proverbs 5<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daily Nugget:<\/strong>
\n Proverbs 5 gives a warning that too many ignore, and regret it later.  Although it was directed to Jewish men, it can apply to men, and portions of it, to women today.  The advice is for men to avoid having sexual relations out of wedlock and especially with prostitutes and \u201cstrange\u201d women.
\n \u201cFor the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.\u201d Proverbs 5:3-4<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStrange women\u201d is referring to those that were not Jewish, but also can be applied today to those that are not Christians. Whoever it is, sexual relations out of marriage is sin. If it is between unmarried people, most agree, it is called \u201cfornication.\u201d   If the iniquity involves a married person, it is \u201cadultery.\u201d
\n \u201cBe ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?\u201d II Cor. 6:14<\/em>
\n \u201cFlee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.\u201d I Cor. 6:18  <\/em>Also: I Cor. 6:18, I Thes. 4:3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although \u201cshacking up\u201d is sadly commonplace today, it is a sin (Jude 1:7). It does not matter if it is with \u201cmy finance.\u201d  It is not permissible in God\u2019s eyes.  It is still iniquity.  Intimate experiences are intended to be between a married man and a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Violating God\u2019s commandments will cost the sinner quite a bit.  To avoid the wage of sin in this area, keep far away (Prov. 5:8) from a \u201cstrange\u201d relationship.  Do not even consider dating an unsaved person if you are born-again, as it can be on the pathway to falling into sin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price one may pay for not heeding this wisdom (Prov. 5:1, 7) can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
