Two Legs, the King’s Highway, and a Hard Run
“Therefore hear me now, my children, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Remove your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one.”
Proverbs 5:7-9

Ponder This
Sexual immorality is not a sin we are told to fight; it’s a sin that we are told to flee. Second Timothy 2:22 says to “flee . . . youthful lusts.” Don’t linger and don’t try to figure it out on your own. Don’t even come near the house. The way to escape is two legs, the King’s highway, and a hard run. Get out of there. Don’t even hang around the edge of this temptation.
Joseph was a holy man and had become a servant in Potiphar’s house (Genesis 39). Mrs. Potiphar tried to entice Joseph to come to bed with her. Realizing what was happening, Joseph began to leave the room. She reached out and took hold of his garment and so he left his coat and fled. Some of us would have hung around, even if we knew it was wrong. Joseph didn’t do that. Joseph did not try to stay and fight this temptation; he fled. Whether it is a situation you encounter, a sin you are struggling with, or a thought that crosses your mind, the response should be the same: flee!
- When are the times it is not wise to even try to fight sin but instead to flee it altogether? Why do you need to know the difference?
- How can you seek wisdom about the times it is appropriate to fight and the times it is appropriate to flee?
