RUN!

Proverbs 7

This is the third chapter Solomon has written dealing with adultery. Solomon was one of the wisest men devoted more time to this topic then any other in the book of Proverbs. This is the only sin that we are not asked to fight against. We are called to run! Paul writes to the Corinthian church, "flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body" (1Cor. 6:18). Any sexual immorality no matter the level of severity is destructive to the their own body. We are not supposed to, able or called to fight against this because we cannot. We are told to flee. If you learn on thing from the past three chapters let it be to run whenever you are confronted that with anything that confronts your sexual integrity. Even if it is a simple as a movie that causes you to lust. RUN! Even a man after God's own heart, David, fell into this trap. He did not run. At a time when he was supposed to on the battle field he was confidently at home when we spotted a woman bathing. He did not run and not only did it lead to adultery, but also murder. Flee from sexual immorality!
