I Will Tell You, "Why Her?"

Proverbs 7;1-10 (KJV)

My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
And behold among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.


***WARNING: THIS POST IS GOING TO ANGER ALOT OF MEN!!!! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT EGOS WILL GET BRUISED***


Yesterday, via my facebook page, I saw that one of my young, male, facebook, friends had "been" tagged (attached, afixed, included in, lumped in) to a photo of this non-discript, seemed to be surgically enhanced, oh-so-obvious for tittalation, female. What made the viewing of his name being "tagged" to the photo even more of a let down, to me, is that this young man has expressed, to me, that he desired to not "walk" as all other young men (in his age range; 18-25) are walking nowadays. Plus, the female in the photo has become somewhat of a facebook legend. Having several other names, and selling all manner of athletic shoes and handbags as she mozys on through the social world. You all, if on facebook, have ran into this woman. She seems to have a cult like following of men in tow, all the while, gathering more as she "walks on by". And, here comes one of the biggest 'but' you will ever see.

BUT, I can see why those young men, and grown men too, are "being" tagged to her photo. LOL Chick is all kinds of fiiiiioooooonnnnnneeeee!!!!!! I do have to admit it. From a TOTALLY humanistic, fully male: to possess a penis, standpoint, that chick is-as the kids would say-the business. All that ummm.... backside! And, not to mention she got that coca-cola, figure 8, body. Yup! I can see why all those men "follow" behind her. I am pretty sure, if you sat and studied this portion of the Proverbs, you can "see" why as well. AND THE SLOW PAIN TO THE EGO BEGINS TO SET IN........


In this portion of the Proverbs (v7) the word understanding, in the Hebrew (leb [labe]) means: the heart; (figuratively) the feelings, the will and even the intellect. Uh-Oh! I would like to say that I, even, felt a slight twinge inside of my "manliness" after revisiting that definition. Whew! The will. Even the intellect. You mean the wise counsellor, here in the Proverbs, is in actual possession of knowledge about the young men who are "being" tagged to that chick? This wise counsellor knows that these young men do not keep, lay up, or bind any of the Father's words, commandments, or law as the 'apple of their eyes'. Nor do they write them upon the 'tables of their hearts'. Is that pain getting a little more noticable? It should be. The wise counsellor said that you are easily "seen" from casement of the window to the counsellor's house. The wis counsellor sits, and watches. Discerns you, yes YOU, as you go about your way; at twilight, and evening, and even in the black and dark night. Which is more than likely when you were "being" tagged? Was it? Oops.... I apologize. Didn't mean to strike your forehead. More pain to the ego, huh?

In verse 10, the wise counsellor gives a tiny, brief description of this chick, and I bet if you go back and check that photo you "got" tagged to, you will see that the chick is the same as this chick. They might as well be considered the "same girl". No Usher or R. Kelly. I mean, I did (and have no problem with the admission) view the photo. Shoot, I went into the album mark, 'Girl Next Door'. I know what!!!! She ain't 'Next Door' to me. That chick is, in my mind, man-u-fac-tured. She is making sure to wear the "correct" outfits (to lure you in through sight), and speak the "correct" phrases (through the promise of sexual satisfaction). C'mon fellas!!! Admit it. You so desire the woman in your life to 'play the part' that this chick is playing? Yup! There it is!!!!!

Wide open ANGER because I just bruised your ego! Look Bruh, this is love at its best. You all know what you were thinking when you seen that chick come across your screen. Hell, I know what I was thinking. And, I had to scream "Jesus!" to keep myself from "being" tagged. Why is it that you keep falling for this type of chick? Why is it any of us men are still subceptable to this kind of chick? I will offer you my thought of "Why". Because, like the wise counsellor goes on to say (v24-27), we allow for our 'ears' to be stopped up and not "hear" what wisdom is saying about this kind of chick. We allow for our 'heart' to "decline" to her ways. That word, decline, in the Hebrew: (satah [saw-taw']) means; to deviate from duty.

Whew! Yes, I know. Sobering thoughts come flooding back to you about what you were "ignoring" when you keep going back to view the photo of this chick. All the questions you, seriously, couldn't answer when you were being questioned by your woman, about the photo of this chick. Your woman was grillin' you wasn't she? Did it appear that she was 'desparate' to hear your answer? That's because you 'desparately' need to ask God why you keep going back to view the photo of that chick. This is the Love I spoke about Brother. Unfortunately, this chick continues to be "popular" because we, as men, still need to snatch this thought of what we think love is away from our thought that it is fulfilled with sexual gratification, ONLY. Brother, I am a man; no better than you, or thinking that I am walking on clouds with Jesus, but what I have come to understand (Thank You Nikki) is that the expression of love is so much more than laying with a woman. The wise counsellor knows this, for the wise counsellor is Love. Love IS God. Let it soak in Bruh, allow this Truth to soothe; to minister to your heart. Mending that bruised ego.

The title said that I would tell you, "Why Her?". But, we, men, know why and unless we turn away from why it is her: to see exactly who God will reveal her to be, then we, men, will forever find ourselves "being" tagged to this kind of chick. Un-Tag yourself Bruh..... Disconnect yourself from the lie. Let yourself "see" exactly who this chick is, and why she IS so detrimental to your life. You can reclaim your intellect; your will; your understanding of why this chick is not beneficial to the life which God gave you, and is the way He is leading you. Un-Tag yourself....
