Proverbs 5:1-23

Wisdom speaks to every area of life, including how we think about and live out our sexuality. In this sobering chapter of Proverbs, we see that sex is both powerful and precious—a good gift from God, but destructive when separated from Him. The father warns his son against the path of adultery, which leads to death, and calls him instead to faithful, joyful intimacy within marriage. Verse 21 lifts our eyes higher still, reminding us that our ultimate allegiance and greatest delight is found in God, from whom all other joys rightly flow.
