The Wounds of Self Affliction

The Wounds of Self Affliction Brad Reiches Jan 30 2006 11:35PM   Tuesday, January 31,  2006 GodThoughts Wired!    "The Wounds of Self-Affiction" "They ambush their own lives.'" Proverbs 1:18 I did that once.  Ambush my own life, I mean.  It's easy to do.  "He who sins against me (wisdom), injures himself (Proverbs 8:36).  No one ever begins drinking, for example, thinking they'll become an alcohoic...they just do.  Never once have I ever had a couple tell me at the beginning of their marriage that their goal in five years was to get divorced...but more than half wind up that way. "He who neglects discipline despises himself." Proverbs 15:32 There is a way which SEEMS right to a man...(see Proverbs 16:25).  Here's a key phrase worth remembering:  The only time God says to do something is because He loves you. And the only time He says not to do something is because He knows it will hurt you. Do you believe it?
