“…for thou hast discovered thyself to another
than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant
with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.” Isa 57:8
The
subtle seduction that leads to spiritual adultery; a man who allows himself to indulge
in inquisitive tastes will eventually find a flavor he can’t resist. Yet vs 10 states
that whatever perceived greatness was found still leads to weariness and vs 12
declares such works will offer no profit. The bible warns us repeatedly
concerning the worlds temptations; Pro 5:3 warns us that the lips of a strange
woman are like drops from a honeycomb. In the same light the bed of the world
is inviting and can appear comfortable. But, realize satan could never lure you
away with bitterness. That which brought you the appealing comforts and caress
of your desires will be as vanity which carried away with the winds leaving you
with only a cry for the desires lost (vs 13).
That
which leads you away will eventually lead you astray.
HSAY…
