Let Your Wife Be A Fountain Of Blessing For You.
Rejoice In The Wife Of Your Youth. …
But The Man Who Commits Adultery Is An Utter Fool, For He Destroys Himself.
Are
you an utter fool? Are you committing adultery? Then the Bible says that you
are an utter fool! What are you going to do about it? Repent and run (or crawl)
back to your spouse I hope!
Scripture
15 Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife.
16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
having sex with just anyone?
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.
19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts satisfy you always.
May you always be captivated by her love.
20 Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman,
or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?
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.
Proverbs 6:
29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife.
He who embraces her will not go unpunished.
30 Excuses might be found for a thief
who steals because he is starving.
31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
even if he has to sell everything in his house.
32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool,
for he destroys himself.
Observation
Are
you an utter fool? Are you committing adultery? Then the Bible says that you
are an utter fool! What are you going to do about it? Run back to your wife I
hope!
Break
off the relationship with the immoral woman and by the way you are just as
immoral as she is!
Christians
think that they can do things like this and not get burned. Scripture calls
those of us that think like that “fools”.
God
says in verse 29 of Proverbs 6 that you will not go unpunished.
Maybe
you haven’t actually committed adultery yet, and maybe right now you and your
wife are just having problems. It is better to get help right now to work out
those problems before you cross the line and fall into adultery. It is only a
matter of time before Satan brings someone into your life and your life spirals
down out of control.
Adultery,
fornication, and all sexual immorality are wrong if you are a Christ Follower!
If you don’t have a personal relationship with Christ and you have not been
called out of the darkness into the light then sexual promiscuity might seem to
be sort of the norm.
Getting
involved in a relationship outside of marriage can happen, but you are a fool
if you continue in that sin. The Bible says that it will destroy you.
This is a painful subject I know. God is a God of
forgiveness, but the hurt and destruction, and the consequences of our sin will
damage us, our spouse, our children, our grandchildren, and will also destroy
your testimony and your witness for Christ.
I hope that if you are reading this and find yourself in
this situation that you will repent, turn back to God, ask Him for forgiveness
and then crawl back to your spouse and beg for forgiveness. Get help and make
your marriage the very best!
Application
I
will help couples to be all that God has called them to be in Christ as I am
given the opportunity.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, the book of Proverbs and the rest of the Bible don’t sugar coat
adultery or any type of sexual immorality. I know that You have seen it all and
I know that it breaks Your heart when You see us get trapped in a sin and don’t
seem to know how to get out. I pray for anyone reading this that needs to break
away from the wrong relationship that they have allowed themselves to become
involved in. Give them boldness. Give them the courage to leave and get back
with their spouse. Don’t let them continue to listen to Satan’s lies. Open
their spiritual eyes and open their hearts. Help them to repent. Restore their
former relationship with their spouse. Work a miracle!
