Proverbs

I love the book of Proverbs. I love that it is so practical. It is applicable. It is full of good advice.... I also think it is so strange how often the adulterous woman is mentioned. The strong warning to stay away from her.. how she will destroy your life. It is mentioned throughout this book... and from seeing the destruction this causes first hand, I can understand its importance in scripture. It really does cause massive amounts of destruction. I am thankful for this strong warning.... Proverbs 5:6 says "she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it." One who makes these choices clearly does not look ahead, they do not care about how it may effect their children or their spouses or anyone. It shows the complete selfishness and lack of looking ahead.

Also so much to learn about being a wife... and how to make a home happy. Lots to be learned. Lots of lessons to take away from here.

Proverbs 17:12 Let man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather that a a fool in his folly.
Wow. Strong statement.
