“Keep…”
“Keep…”
Blessings folk!
Father continues to speak to son.
He is repeatedly warning his son about the wiles of the adulteress.
Read and give heed…
Pro 7:1-5
My son, keep my words
And treasure my commandments within you.
Keep my commandments and live,
And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers;
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your intimate friend;
That they may keep you from an adulteress,
From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
Father continues to exhort son to…
- keep my words
- treasure my commandments…within you…hummm
- keep my commandments…and live
- keep his teaching as the apple of his eye
How?
- bind them on your fingers
- write them on the tablet of your heart
- embrace wisdom as a sister
- embrace understanding as your intimate friend.
Why?
- they will keep you from an adulteress
- they will keep you from the foreigner who uses flattering words
Father is saying the same to us.
Keep yourself from adultery with the world.
Keep yourself in the Kingdom.
Do as Father instructed here…
