What do you see outside your window? Proverbs 7

For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice,

Chapter seven of Proverbs is a story of folly enticing the fool to fall into her trap. The fool succumbs and is swallowed up like a bird in a snare and/or an ox by the slaughter house. This story can be repeated multiple times, multiple days, mulitple years. It is happening right outside your window. Do you see it? Solomon puts himself as the narrator and tells us he was looking out his window when he saw this story unfold. I have often wondered why he didn't stop the naive one from following Lady Folly. I suppose the point of the story was not his intervention but the plight of the naive simpleton. The story is a warning to us. I recently spoke about this perilous story in a Christian school. I told the students to be warned. That is what the story is about. I told the young to be careful when the Temptrous Folly comes knocking and stirs the emotion and the sexual desires. That was nine months ago. One of them recently sat in front of me confessing the lack of moral control and the pregancy of his girlfriend. We can look at the story unfold every day. We can read this chapter every day. But, unless we allow Christ to produce control in us we will be the victum of the story and not the narrator. Don't be the victum. Be the narrator. Allow Christ to produce wisdom in you and to withstand the folly outside you.
