4-3-2020 – A Word to the Wise – If you have been working on the chart you will notice several things. One’s behavior good, or bad results in consequences. Scripture makes it clear that there are specific results for our behavior.
But the one indicator not discussed is that of immoral behavior, which includes adultery, fornication, and porn to name a few. The consequence of these behaviors in some instances are immediate, while other consequences are long term.
For instance one of the immediate effects of immoral behavior is anger. It always follows such behavior and is a significant observable behavior. Another trait as pointed out in Proverbs 5 deals with wealth. One of two things occurs. Either, it continues to accumulate and then waste away with frivolous behavior or there is a sudden dramatic loss which reoccurs and compounds itself.
The chart if done honestly will reflect this pattern and should serve as a warning about such behavior. Furthermore, it gives an innocent spouse warnings. Those warning if not observed will result in the spouse having to share in the consequences.
Thus the chart is a visual indicator for us of the results of our behavior, both good and bad. The scriptures are full of a host of warnings that go with specific sins, and yes even blessing or rewards of righteous behavior.
