Don’t give up your strength, Listen!

Proverbs 5: 3-12

3 A woman who commits adultery has lips that drip honey. What she says is smoother than oil.

4 But in the end she is like bitter poison. She cuts like a sword that has two edges.

5 Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to the grave.

6 She doesn’t give any thought to her way of life. Her paths are crooked, but she doesn’t realize it.

7 My sons, listen to me. Don’t turn away from what I say.

8 Stay on a path far away from that evil woman. Don’t even go near the door of her house.

9 If you do, you will give your best strength to others. You will give the best years of your life to someone who is mean.

10 Strangers will use up all of your wealth. Your hard work will make someone else rich.

11 At the end of your life you will groan. Your skin and your body will be worn out.

12 You will say, “How I hated to take advice! How my heart refused to be corrected!

Lesson: Pay attention to advise

By his Blood, we are redeemed

Ephesians 1:7

For God so loved us , that he send his son to redeem us from the oppression of satan. When we fall into sin, seek forgiveness as soon as possible. Don’t delay.
