Proverbs 5

“For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his paths” (v21). Wisdom, according to the Bible, means trusting and following the Lord’s ways.  The One who created men and women knows what we need to thrive, and His commands are for our good.  God warns us against sexual sin because even though it seems attractive, it is a path that leads to bitterness and destruction (v4-5).  God wants to save us from a life of regrets (v12-14), and if we are in bondage, He is the only one who can free us (v22).

“Be attentive to my wisdom” (v1).  God’s way is the path of abundant life, if we will trust Him.
