To live holy lives does not mean that you are instantly perfected to the point of making no mistakes. Are you shocked?! Living a holy life means that as we learn God’s principles we ought to regard them enough that if we aren’t directing our life in a way the principle says to the same God, that lives inside of our heart and who gave these to Solomon to write, compels us to change to the way HE’s guiding us to. In addition to other books of The Bible, the book of Proverbs is a great resource for these principles; you might want to check it out!
Having intimacy in a relationship is no
taboo in The Bible for The Lord took the care of teaching us about them; in
cases very explicit, so buckle up for this is just a small example of one of
those. As for the one I will be presenting I’ve decided to number the principles
within this portion of chapter 5 to help us digest it on an easier way.
“Drink water from your own well— share your love only with your
wife. 16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets, having
sex with just anyone? 17 You should reserve it for yourselves.
Never share it with strangers. 18 Let
your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your
youth. 19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her
breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love. 20 Why be captivated, my son, by an
immoral woman, or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman? For
the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes. 22
An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch
and hold him. 23
He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his
great foolishness.”
1.
Keep your eyes in your own cup
2.
Make love only to your wife
3.
Do not have intercourse with anyone else
4.
Marriage intimacy is been reserved for the
couple
5.
Do not have sex outside of your marriage
6.
Your wife will bless more than anyone else
7.
Be exceedingly happy with the woman given you
when young
9.
No matter if her breast aren’t as alive and “upbeat”
as when you met them, be content
10.
Let
your attraction and attention for your wife be like she’s “the last coke in the
desert”[2]
11.
Let you eyes not to be distracted by a woman with
a low cleavage or strapless top who tempts you to lust after her
12.
The Lord who is Omnipresent is watching,
ALL THE TIME; and HE sees the true colors, hers and yours
13.
You will not be accountable for her or anyone
else’s sin but you own
14.
Lack of self-control can get you in deep trouble
and take you to the grave, and ultimately to hell, its foolishness; do not play
with it, stay rooted and planted in THE LORD!
Self discipline is synonymous of a strengthen mind, a self-controlled
mind, and God’s Word says that HE “HAS NOT given us a spirit of fear and
timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”[3] Meaning that in and with HIM it is possible for us to control our
character. So if you know that left is
not the good way, just stick to your right!
The previous fourteen verses on this
chapter explains you why is it that we ought to stay in the right track, among
those that you may maintain discretion, and may preserve knowledge. It also will prevent you for wandering
aimlessly, which is a helpful thing. We’re encouraged to avoid people who might
encourage you to do wrong, because it can lead us to dishonor others and lose
our dignity and not to mention, our money too.
My friend, I pray you ask The Lord to
reveal you if there are people around you who are enticing you to live
unholy. In case there might be some, I
pray you realize they need Jesus, so you pray for them and at the same time,
you give yourself some room between you and them, otherwise it could lead you
to fall into temptation and lose your faith and new commitment with The Lord.
And I pray this for the glory of God in JESUS name, AMEN!!!
