Probing Proverbs: ☛5:15-17 Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife. Why spill the water of your springs in the
streets, having sex with just anyone?
You should reserve it for yourselves. Never share it with strangers.☚ What a vivid picture wisdom paints on
the folly of husbands being sexually unfaithful! We dress it up with terms that
show we are cowards to face the truth. “A man’s man!” “A great lover!” or “a
man of the world!” – when in reality any dog can do that! It takes a REAL man
to be faithful to his vow, and a real lover to be intimate with only one woman.
Any man can be aroused by a new woman…that makes him a “luster” not a lover! To
remain sexually intimate with one woman, knowing every flaw and sign of age
reveals that this man is a lover, for that commitment flows from the heart, not
the eyes. Men are visual in their romance, God made us that way; and we begin
with infatuation. However, if we are mature it moves from our eyes to our heart
and we become committed to this glorious gift God has given us…i.e. we become
lovers! Don’t be a dog…be a man!
