Beware of The Seductress
This weekend we are focusing on both love and wisdom. This is the story of the seductress woman and how she traps young men in her web of death. As godly parents, we want to make sure that we train up our children in the way they should go. At a young age we should impart into our children the importance of seeking God for His wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Our daughters must be taught to be women of excellence and wisdom.
In Proverbs 9 we learn about the difference between two types of women. One is called wisdom and the other is called the foolish woman. Wisdom represents love while the other represents lust. While the love of wisdom will lead you to life, the lusts of the foolish woman will lead you to death. The voices of two women are calling out. Wisdom is calling you and so is the foolish woman. Who’s house will you turn into? This is the story of the seductress called the foolish woman.
The Story of The Seductress
One day I was looking out my window at some foolish teenagers and noticed one who had no sense at all.
He was walking through the marketplace and came to the corner where a certain woman lived.
He then turned up the road that goes by her house.
The day was ending.
The sun had set, and it was almost dark.
Suddenly, there she was in front of him, dressed like a prostitute.
She had plans for him.
She was a wild and rebellious woman
Who would not stay at home.
She walked the streets
Always looking for someone to trap.
She grabbed the young man and kissed him.
Without shame, she looked him in the eye and said,
“I offered a fellowship offering today.
I gave what I promised to give,
And I still have plenty of food left.
So I came out to find you, and here you are!
I have clean sheets on my bed—special ones from Egypt.
My bed smells wonderful with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Come, let’s enjoy ourselves all night.
We can make love until dawn.
My husband has gone on a business trip.
He took enough money for a long trip
And won’t be home for two weeks.”
This is what the woman said to tempt the young man,
And her smooth words tricked him.
He followed her, like a bull being led to the slaughter.
He was like a deer walking into a trap,
Where a hunter waits to shoot an arrow through its heart.
The boy was like a bird flying into a net,
Never seeing the danger he was in.
Pay Attention Sons
Now, sons, listen to me.
Pay attention to what I say.
Don’t let your heart lead you to an evil woman like that.
Don’t go where she wants to lead you.
She has brought down some of the most powerful men;
She has left many dead bodies in her path.
Her house is the place of death.
The road to it leads straight to the grave.
This Lesson Comes From: Proverbs 7:6-27
