Proverbs 2:12-17 (NLT)
12 Wisdom will save you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God.
King Solomon says follow wisdom if you want to stay from evil. Wisdom lets one know what is right and keeps one away from the things that are wrong. Lack of wisdom causes one to ignore their relationship with God. Lack of wisdom also causes one to follow evil ways that can lead them into immoral acts.
There is a billboard in Hollywood California that is promoting an internet dating website for those who are married. The billboard promotes adultery in marriage and there are some who justly want to see the advertisement removed. Even in a town that glamorizes affairs in movies it seems this promotion of immorality has gone a little too far. The website for the company says, “When monogamy becomes monotony.” Those who run the website make no apologies and even try to claim they are just trying to help people express who they really are. Their view is there are people with marital struggles who remain silent and this provides a place for them to come together with others to date outside of their marriage. King Solomon obviously had it right. There are those who enjoy evil and twisted ways and try to lead others down the same path. This website is saying, abandon your spouse, ignore your covenant with God and take the dark path ignoring wisdom. Pray God will open people’s hearts and let them be filled with wisdom. Pray they will see the truth and not the lies Satan has laid before them.
