Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my
commandments with thee.
Proverbs 7:2 Keep my commandments, and
live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
Proverbs 7:3 Bind them upon thy fingers,
write them upon the table of thine heart.
It's, KEEP my words, it's,
Keep my commandments, it's, BIND and WRITE. In other WORDS it's work to keep
wrong thoughts that will lead to wrong actions out of our mind and also out of
our heart. In verse 5 we read;
Proverbs 7:5 That they may keep thee from
the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
What was interesting I read
the phrase "That they may keep thee from"
The word "MAY" jumped out at me; what does the word MAY mean? To be possible, is possible to be.
If I am going to keep myself from falling into traps I must know what the traps
are. In order to know the traps that will attack my spiritual life I must know
what to look for. I must keep putting and allowing Gods word in my heart to
control my thoughts on a daily routine. Principle #1- If Gods against it so am
I." How will I ever know what God is against if I don't know His Word or
His Commandments? If I allow other things to take my personal time with The
Lord then it "MAY BE" possible to keep me from the set traps. Something
else I noticed was in Verse 1 it was "My son, keep
my words" then in verse 5 it was "flattereth
with her words" it was either God's words or Fattering words!
In verse 25 the word
"DECLINE" jumped out at me Decline means To
lean downward; we are being warned not to let our heart lean
downward toward wrong pathways.
Proverbs 7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go
not astray in her paths. What happens when one leans? They go astray. "Out of the right way or proper place"
how does one end up in the wrong place? Simple; allowing other things to take
over our daily personal time with The Lord. His Word or in the case before us her
word?
