Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? (Proverbs 6:28)One of the recurring themes of Proverbs is the subject of consequences... the way things can backfire when we least expect it. In fact, the writers warn us that if we indulge in certain behaviors, we should expect them to backfire on us. Biblical scholars call it retribution theology. Do right and be blessed; do wrong and be cursed.
In this particular proverb, the lesson is about giving in to lust, but it also applies to every situation where the consequences can get the better of us.
If I walk on hot coals, shouldn't I expect to get burned?
Are you playing with fire in any area of your life?
