Women?
1
The sayings of King Lemuel contain this message, which his mother taught him.
2
O my son, O son of my womb,
O son of my vows,
3
do not waste your strength on women,
on those who ruin kings.
This proverb isn’t telling young men to avoid all women. Instead, it’s a warning against relationships with multiple women and against lustful or promiscuous behavior. It’s a call for monogamy, not a rejection of love or marriage. Proverbs often warns against falling into the trap of lust, which can lead to harmful choices.
Jesus takes this even further, making it clear that it’s not just about physical actions. In Matthew 5:28, He says, "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." This shows how serious even our thoughts are when it comes to purity.
Think about this: Our society often promotes the idea that if you love—or more accurately, lust for—someone, then sex is acceptable. Additionally, pornography, among men and women, is widely accessed. Both are sinful according to Scripture. Do you struggle with these issues? If so, it’s important to address them and seek God’s help in overcoming these temptations.
