Get Wisdom Proverbs 5:15 Stay at Home!

It’s gonna get a little saucy here today – we’re talking about sex! Sex is not a bad thing; it’s an amazing gift from God, but you need wisdom in order to handle it correctly. You ready for this? In the Bible, King Solomon had 300 wives and 700 concubines. That’s 1000 women that he was sexually intimate in some way! He was messed up by this, and heart was turned away from God by women. He learned the hard way, so it’s interesting that he shares this wisdom with his son.

Solomon is giving warnings about who to be and who not to be with, and has a lot to say about self-control. And it leads us to our verse of the day, Proverbs 5:15 – “Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from yourWe’d love to hear from you!
