In reading Proverbs 6, these verses stood out for me, and powerfully so:

1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Especially verse 5...it is basically saying that to be "obliged" to someone (even a friend) especially monetarily, can be a "trap" of the worse kind. It can cause all kinds of "compromises" and make it a "god" of sorts, as that "owing" becomes the utmost thoughts of the mind and heart. God is warning to stay away from such a situation like the plague. It leads to destruction of enormous and possibly irreversible proportions.

In reading Proverbs 6, verses 12-15 stood out for me:

"A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy."

"naughty" here is not the "cutesie", "winking" term used in describing a small child who does something benign and harmless. No, in Biblical terms it means "a man of Belial" (personification of evil). In addition, "mischief" used here is not the Tom Sawyer kind of boyish "scrapes", but it means "evil". "Frowardness" (used many times in the Bible) means "perversity".

What these verses are saying is that someone who chooses to continue willfully to do wickedly, will come to an end that is sudden and with no remedy (because they repeatedly rejected it).

These verses tie right into these:

Very WISE words and guidance. It's like saying to "cling tightly" to these words and never, ever forget them or let them go or be careless and "lose" them.

For they are a TREASURE.

20 Young man, obey your father and your mother.
21 Take to heart all of their advice; keep in mind everything they tell you.


What does one do if they were raised by a narcissist atheist? Who despises Christians most? Who wants you to obey and lay down your life for them, at the expense of your own? Do you still obey them?

Thank God for His inexplicable grace, amen?

His grace and His mercy is mightily available to anyone (including us, His own) who repents, amen?

It is written that He LONGS to pour it on ALL of us when we repent. Reminds me of the prodigal son. What did the father do when he saw his son in the distance?

He rannnnnnnnnnnnn.

TO him.

Precious.

(by the way, thank you for posting....i needed to meditate on this very thing again..)
