Meditations From Proverbs, Part 14

"Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words." -Proverbs 7:4-5

No other passage of Scripture gives such a strong admonition with regard to moral purity. The Lord is careful in His warning to avoid any details that would lead our minds astray while at the same time not compromising the integrity of the admonition. If you should read the text, note the elements necessary for potential disaster. The young man is said to be void of understanding. The reason for such a declaration is that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. To go near her house at night is a dangerous intersection.

How careful we must be to avoid putting ourselves in the place of temptation. We may have to remove certain temptations that might lead us down a path of no return. As I have said before, technology allows us to visit her house without even leaving ours. That's the way I see things.
