The ongoing battle against avoiding sin

Although believers are victorious in Messiah, the reality of living for him is a real conflict every day. Matthew 5:29 – “If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into Gehenna. Yeshua is speaking here of the extreme vigilance with which we must guard our spiritual…

PROVERBS S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 5

Friday, 2/17/23

SCRIPTURE:

So now, my sons, listen to me. Never stray from what I am about to say: ... For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes. An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him. He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness. ~ Proverbs 5:7, 21-23

OBSERVATION: Personalized...

The Lord sees me clearly...

...He sees what I do...

...examining EVERY path I take...

I am held captive - caught and held - by my own sins... my disobedience...

Self-control = willpower -

Who's / who's will?

Who / who has the power?

My lack of self-control - my great foolishness - keeps me lost and dying...

...if not for Jesus...

APPLICATION:

Listen...

Never stray...

Consider my path(s)...

Surrender my "power" to His Power...

Seek Spirit control instead of George (self) -control...

PRAYER:

All seeing and loving Heavenly Father - I ask forgiveness for relying on my own self-control, my own willpower instead of remaining under Your Spirit's control and power... Make Your ways my ways... Your Way my Way... Your will my will... in the same way Jesus surrendered Himself to You for my benefit, may I surrender what I want to You for those around me... In His Name, and for Your recognition and praiseful worship...

Enjoy your weekend, and reach out if/as needed...

Gratefully and joyfully y'all's - through Him...

g

The Wisdom of Experience

1 My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, 2 that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. 3 For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, 4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; 6 she does not…

“lean not on your own understanding” fucked. me. up. yes, i understand the context in which it was written thousands of years ago but i’m not talking about that. i’m talking about how that verse has been weaponized by modern evangelical christianity to abuse and maintain control over people. to smother any critical thinking, resistance, independence, individualism, and more. this post doesn’t have a point. i am just pissed about my religious trauma and all the fighting i had to do just to trust my gut, my instincts, and my own critical thinking. i’m angry about all the years of loving, growing, and discovering myself that i lost to the spiritual abuse from the church.

"do not lean on your own understanding; lean on God's understanding"

I actually am not capable of escaping my own consciousness. Any and all understandings that are not my own end up getting filtered through my own ability to understand.

"oh but God can just make you understand"

HMMM convenient that he can make me understand something now in order to justify this proverb, but when it comes to explaining suffering it's all "the Lord works in mysterious ways that we can never hope to understand."

I only have my own understanding to lean on.

"Your heart is deceitful. Your emotions fluctuate and you can't trust them."

This is like saying that if you're reading updates to a news article throughout the day, the article can't be trusted because it's changing. Just because things fluctuate, doesn't mean they aren't trustworthy. Emotions provide you information about your body and its needs. Just like the updated news article, some of it is going to be useful for making decisions and some of it won't be. Robust, emotionally intelligent education about managing our emotions and knowing what to do with them is necessary here. Our emotions aren't inherently false, nor should they be discarded wholecloth. Teaching people they can't trust their emotions is worse than not teaching people anything at all about how to deal with their emotions, because it comes with actively harmful practices.

Telling people they cannot trust their emotions, and that they can only truly trust a being outside themselves, hinders the development of healthy emotional regulation skills and increases susceptibility to abuse and manipulation.

Discipline on the path of life

Believers must constantly evaluate their choices in light of the eternal purpose of God. Proverbs 5:21-23 – For a man’s ways are before the eyes of Yahweh, and he ponders all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray. Believers cannot become complacent within…
