Esther 6-8, Revelations 4, Proverbs 25: 11-20
Proverbs 25: 16-17 (ESV)
“If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you
have your fill of it and vomit it. Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's
house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you.”
Verses 16 and 17 from Proverbs 25 give more good advice on
how to live life from Solomon. Solomon tells us that if you find honey or
something sweet, you should only have enough for yourself. If you have your fill
or if you overindulge, it will make you sick. You will also lose whatever you
thought was good about the thing you thought you loved.
I also like the advice to not to spend too much time in your
neighbor’s house. I believe this advice is about not abusing the hospitality of
others including your neighbors. Solomon advises us to have discretion with our
friends as every relationship needs space to thrive and last a long time.
