Set small goals to achieve your purpose in life.

Proverbs 5                                           June 5, 2012

Memory Verse: Pro. 5:7   “Hear me now, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.”

Today’s verses have one real goal –to keep ourselves pure and true to our first love. Though Solomon speaks as if this were a man choosing between his wife or a prostitute, it may very well be choosing between God and some other idol. It is very obvious that Satan draws one away easiest by the physical (which loose sex can do), so we will look at this also as a seventh commandment warning against the sin of adultery. In the later verses we can see the message is to never take a wife’s love (or God’s love) for granted.

I went up to the Converting Hearts Thrift Shop yesterday and saw where the CHM goal is posted. The picture of the projected end result (farm) keeps everyone working on the small goals to get to that one. That is goal setting and posting.

1) Paying attention to good advice teaches good sense and keeps us out of trouble

2) Seductive partners have sweet lips and smooth talk, but would your heart

3) The partner would take you on the road to hell with him or her

4) They’re not concerned with real life, identity, or where they are headed (only concerned with the moment).

5) Don’t treat this good advice lightly, pay attention

6) Stay away from such a temporary partner.

7) Don’t waste your precious life on such fleeting choices

8) Don’t let strangers take advantage of you in this way

9) Don’t be exploited by ones who don’t care for you.

10) Don’t end your life full of regrets; seek proper goals

11) Accept the advice; discipline your life

12) Listen to your mentors; take your teachers seriously; God put these here for you.

13) Or, you will have nothing to show for your life.

14) Protect your own spouse and your own property

15) Don’t show off for friends nor strangers

16) Enjoy thoroughly your time with your spouse

17) Take delight in one another

18) NEVER take their love for granted

19) Why trade intimacies for cheap thrills?

20) God does not miss a move you take. He loves you too much for that

21) The shadows of your sins will make you stumble in the dark

22) Death is the only reward for an undisciplined life

23) Bad choices trap you in a dead end
