Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be seared? So is he who goes in to his neighbors wife; whoever touches her shall not be innocent. Proverbs 6:27-29
You hear about it
all the time. A man and woman commit adultery, by cheating on their spouses.
Its usually the result of unmet needs in the relationship that drives one to
seek pleasure outside the bonds of marriage. Its an easy trap to fall into and the
results of adultery impact not only the two engaged, but their family members,
children and friends.
For some reason, God
has laid this concern on my heart and today I’m asking that if you are one who
is caught up in this sin to reconsider your actions and turn away from the one
whom you are finding pleasure. Finding pleasure outside your marriage is
dangerous and will eventually bring negative consequences to your life and
those around you. Not to mention, your walk with the Lord is hindered and
prayers not heard.
Adultery is not the
answer to your problems. Deep down I’m sure you have questioned your actions.
Satan is good at manipulating your thoughts to make you actually believe your
affair is beneficial and will give you 100 reasons to continue to cheat. But
God gives one reason not to cheat and truth is, God has the final say.
Take time today to
consider this wrongful path you are taking and know that it leads no where
good. Ask God to help you break the bonds you’ve established and find His forgiveness
and those you’ve hurt. Ask God to help you heal your heart and work on the
problems you face with your spouse. There is a better way, and finding pleasure
outside the home is not one of them. You owe it to yourself and God to walk a
path pleasing to Him. Seek forgiveness today and avoid getting burned. God bless
friend.
