Pro 7:24-26 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
When we stray from God’s will and Word, we are subject to the consequences of those actions. We may think that we can handle those consequences, but these verses are telling us many have been wounded and even strong men have been slain. How devastating our actions can be when not guided by God. We can do nothing without God or His protecting hand. Even Michael the archangel didn’t try to fight Satan on his own but said the Lord rebuke thee. (Jude 1:9).
