God’s Word for Today

17 Apr, 2025

The mouth of forbidden women is a deep pit;

he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.

-Prov 22:14 ESV

A DEEP PIT

A pit is a disguised hole used to capture or injure prey. Falling into it means being trapped. The “forbidden woman" is a personification of temptation (Prov 2:16; 7:4–10). Sin, as a seductress woman, seems attractive and welcoming but what it draws us away from God into sin. In fact, the result of following temptation is death and ruin.

Blessed is the one who listens to me,

watching daily at my gates,

waiting beside my doors.

For whoever finds me finds life

and obtains favor from the Lord,

but he who fails to find me injures himself;

all who hate me love death.” (Prov 8:34–36)

Following our sinful urges is as dangerous as walking unaware towards a deep trap. James says; “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”[Jas 1:13,14]

Undergoing temptation is not sin until we do it. A fish is not caught while nibbling the bait until it swallows it with the hook. God wants us to recognize our weakness towards temptation. Thus, he teaches us to pray;

“And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.” [Mat 6:13]

Sadly, he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it. God is angry with the proud. And, they are prone to fall into temptation.

Pride goes before destruction,

and a haughty spirit before a fall.[Prov 16:18]

Today, let us not presume that the roads we are going are smooth. There might be traps the devil has placed for us to stumble to sin. Remember, he can transform himself into an appearance of an angel of light. Let us not be proud but humble to acknowledge God to lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.
