Proverbs Ch 5 KJV

The path of Lust will kill you. This is not a question but a fact and it is easier to fall into then you may think. As a young man there are many things that tempt us and lust is by far a stronghold for many (and women).
Look at all the old testament saints. King David slept with Bathsheba. King Solomon had a 700 wives and 300 concubines, and I doubt that that was what God intended. Samson was led astray by Delilah and lost all his strength because of her.
Never the less, let us remember that: "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (1 Cor. 10:13 KJV)
Likewise, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin." (Heb. 4:15 NIV).
So let us use these examples of saints from times past to avoid foolish mistakes, and use Christ as the prime example of perfection to aim for. With His help we can make it to the finish line, and overcome the sins of this life.
Amen
