## Resource

Pray. Reading: Prov 1:10-14. Meditation. In our last few meditations, we have learned a few insights into how our sinful nature generally works. It is self-centred, it is greedy, and in verses 13 and 14 we now also see that sin is evangelistic. God has made us to be social creatures. We are designed to live in community, and we naturally reach out to other people to connect, to love, and to live. That connection is designed to be a powerful force for good, but sadly our sinful nature can also use those connections to be a force for evil as well. In our passage we see an example of this as Solomon warns his son against being enticed to fall in line with sinners. There is a call to action in these verses: “ Come with us… throw in your lot among us ”, and the call comes with a tempting motivation to reward: “ we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder. ” In this passage, we see thieves trying to draw a young simpleton into their way of life, but the same principle holds true for you in your life as well.

Do not walk in the way of with sinners, hold back your feet from the paths of the world. Do not abandon the world, and do not cease to bring the gospel to lost sinners, but keep an ear open for worldly evangelists as well, and when you hear them coming – close the door of your heart to temptation. Be ye doers of the wor…
