Our Actions Have Consequences


Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away;
for jealousy arouses a husband’s fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse the bribe, however great it is.
Proverbs 6:33-35

The last few verses in Chapter Six are a continuation of the previous ten. At this point, it’s as if God has said, “if you choose disobey by supreme wisdom regarding your private life, you’re on your own with the husband and/or boyfriend who finds out about your intimate dalliances with his girl.”

‘Actions have consequences’ is not just a great Bumper Sticker slogan, but it follows the laws of nature. Often a large husband or boyfriend is one of those laws!

I suspect that with even among those reading this, there are those men and women who are toying with this notion of infidelity (you wouldn’t call it that, but that’s what the Writer is describing). For whatever reason you’re dissatisfied and are looking for a way out, a few thrills, the person of your dreams to come and sweep you off your feet, greener grass, etc etc. In fact, this may be the last chance you have to come to your senses. It’s no coincidence that you’re reading this right now. You need to call someone you can trust. You need to stop what you’re doing and “come to your senses.” Let me pray for you.

Lord, for that person reading this who is tempted with being unfaithful, would you just draw them unto yourself? Would you rein in their thoughts and dreams for greener grass and a better mate? Would you change them from within? Draw them unto you. In Jesus Name.
