Wed.'s Devo - The Strange Woman

Read Pr. 22:14
I read every time the Bible used the term the "strange woman" and I found out she was a harlot who seduced anyone she could to follow her and fall into her pit. She was eloquent of speech, beautiful to look on, ravishing, flattering, preyed on the innocent and cost them their soul. She was dressed as a serpent in the garden and has taken many forms since then. She is out to kill, steal, and destroy anyone God has created, saved or not. She hates the human race because they were created by God in his image. She has no friends and even her demons fear her. She has a deep pit that the totally unrighteous will fall in and she will be cast in in the end. The good news is that we have been given authority over her and her demons and we can walk upright without fear of falling into her pit. I read today in Pr. 15 that the way of the righteous is made plain. If we walk in God's ways then we don't have to fear the devil or any of his schemes. Our plans are the Lord's and he will lead us in the way everlasting.
Lord, thank you for your promises. You never leave us or forsake us and you have equiped us for every battle we will face.
