“LET NOT YOUR HEART TURN ASIDE!”

 Proverbs 7:21-27                   (ESV)

    “[21] With much seductive speech she persuades him;

        with her smooth talk she compels him. 

    [22] All at once he follows her,

        AS AN OX GOES TO THE SLAUGHTER,

    or as a stag is caught fast 

    [23] till an arrow pierces its liver;

    as a bird rushes into a snare;

        he does not know that it will cost him his life.

    [24] And now, O sons, listen to me,

        and be attentive to the words of my mouth. 

    [25] “LET NOT YOUR HEART TURN ASIDE” to her ways;

        do not stray into her paths, 

    [26] for many a victim has she laid low,

        and all her slain are a mighty throng. 

    [27] Her house is the way to Sheol,

        going down to the chambers of death.”

Although “the enemy” is extremely adept at making “sin” appear as though it is THE REAL THING, “LET NOT YOUR HEART TURN ASIDE” to what LOOKS pretty to the eye, for death will envelope you before you know it!!!
