(Day 31 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -

There are two main contrasting women in the Book of Proverbs: Wisdom herself, and the immoral woman.
Follow Wisdom and it leads to life - follow the immoral woman and it leads to death.
"Say to [skillful and godly] wisdom, “You are my sister,” And regard understanding and intelligent insight as your intimate friends; That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the foreigner [who does not observe God’s laws and] who flatters with her [smooth] words." (Proverbs 7:4-5 AMP)
When we are tempted to sin, it often comes with many justifications and reasons why it is okay to compromise for that one time - it could be the whisperings of demons.
The way to fend the temptation off is by having God's Hesed Wisdom in your heart - truly understanding that sin leads to death and that its consequences are severe and painful.
"With her many persuasions she caused him to yield; With her flattering lips she seduced him." (Proverbs 7:21 AMP)
The people who were killed were strong in their flesh, thinking that they could handle it. However we don't have to be strong in our flesh - we just need to rely on God's grace wholeheartedly.
Don't ever think that your willpower is strong enough to resist temptation - only through God's grace are we able to overcome sin.
Like Pastor Prince always shares, we need to keep declaring and be rooted in this truth: "I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!".
"For she has cast down many [mortally] wounded; Indeed, all who were killed by her were strong." (Proverbs 7:26 AMP)
