Mom Reads Proverbs 7

Good morning,

Wow, another chapter devoted to the wicked adulteress and the simpletons.   This is quite the image: "All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life" (v 22-23).  Sin is relentless. Yesterday we had the image of sin as ropes that bind fast trapping its victim.  Today we've got animals going to slaughter and death.

I wish I had something more cheerful to share, but the Bible is full of warnings too--for good reason.  It tells it like it is.
