The father in Proverbs 5 understands how deceitful sin can be, and in turn gives his son a vivid picture of what sin really looks like. It's offer of life is really an offer of death. It's offer of sweetness is really an offer of bitterness. It's offer of personal fulfillment is really an offer ravishment. But the father doesn't just leave the son with a cautionary tale. He then lifts up the institution of marriage and proves to the son how enjoyable the wife of his youth is. Married folks, how are you doing in rejoicing in your God-given spouse? When the allure of others seeks to pull you away, do you look at that sin and see it as a gigantic wrecking ball seeking to destroy you? Singles, how are you doing in the area of purity? Are you walking in faithfulness? Friends, we shouldn't think that what we do in private is secret. The father says, "For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths (v.21)."
