Foolish Wisdom?

Proverbs 7:21 With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
Solomon was the wisest of all men and he spends much time discussing with his son the ways of a woman good and a lot of bad. Women have a great power to lift a man up to greatness or destroy him. Solomon had seen this with the relationship of his father, David and his mother. He knew what sadness adultery creates and the regret of sin. Because of his father’s murdering of Uriah, the nation was in constant war, and his older brother had died. But even more Solomon had a lust for women and he too was lead away from the Lord with his relationships.
Wisdom is only good when you follow her instructions. The bible says to know what is right and not do it is sin. This is so true. As women not only do we persuade men but we persuade ourselves into believing lies. We compromise God’s word to fit what WE think is best for us. We are to submit every thought to God and wait for His instructions. God has a plan for us if we would only get out of the way.
“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.” God first and your needs will be met.
“Delight yourselves in the ways of the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” We you are delighted in God, your desires will be aligned with His and He will bless you with them. God knows what is best for us and His timing is perfect.
1 Peter 3: 3,4 “ Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.” It is not about what you can do but WHOS you are. Fall in love with Christ and become more like Him and you will always have joy.
Lord, I thank you for your word today. Forgive me for not keeping You first. Help me to prioritize my life so that I may be a blessing. I commit my heart, my desires, and life back to You. Amen
