Proverbs 7

I needed only 2 minutes to read this proverb. And it really is only one proverb; a wise saying about controlling our fleshly passions. Solomon recounts the events that he must have witnessed at least once in his life; the unrestrained passions of a hormone inflamed young man, and the evil mind of a faithless wife. Though their meeting would be displayed as a love story in Hollywood, Solomon calls it what it really is; a halfway house to hell. The irreverence toward God's design and the elevation of earthly passions as supreme has only one result; sorrow. And that sorrow, which will consume those who are trapped by it, ends in eternal seperation from God.
