Proverbs 9:13-18 NKJV
A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing. For she sits at the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here”; And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, “Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell.

Shalom! Day #268. Do you know that things done in the secret may seems to be pleasant and good to your eyes, but it's actually leading to death, the depths of hell? Let's pray. Father, we come to You today, let us be filled with Your wisdom and understanding that we may know Your ways and truth. Let Your truth be in us so that we may not be diverted neither to the right nor to the left. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
Whatever things we do in the secret will one day surface to the light and when people get to know about it, it's already too late to rectify it. Every step we take in our life, be it in career, or in ministry, make sure we are doing the right thing. This proverbs not only speaking about a foolish, but a foolish man as well. Many are spiritually "a foolish woman" be it man or woman.
In today's verse we going to study a couple of things here. The word "clamorous" means a lot of noise or the Hebrew word is "Hamah" which means to murmur, growl, roar, cry aloud, to stir up something. A person who is spiritually "a foolish woman" be it man or woman, they talk as though they know everything but the fact is, they have nothing in their head. The create such a commotion and chaos, but there's nothing. Such people the lure those who are simple in spirit, those whose foundation isn't strong in the Lord and they fall into the trap. The devil has been actively doing this filthy work since the beginning till to this date. Stolen water is sweet, of course, whatever you do and you have to come out with a single penny, is good, sweet and so on, but do you know that's a sin? A foolish person would do anything just to look good, look knowledgeable, but the fact is you've built up your personality on a foolish ground and it's about to collapsed. Bread eaten in secret is pleasant but do you know the effects of it? Whatever you do in secret, it will hit you back one day and when it hits you, the impact will be more terrifying than you can ever imagine. So folks, let your life be transparent before God. Be built strong on the foundation of God's truth. Let not your feet be diverted to the left or the right as you walk with God. God bless you.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
