Proverbs 7: King James Bible
The Way to Hell – Daily Devotion of Proverbs chapter seven, Verses
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
Daily Inspiration from These Verses – The Way to Hell
Listen, and let not! Two actions that we are in control of. Listen to the wisdom of the Father, and let not these things befall you. The devil doesn’t make you conform to the world, and stand against the Father. You choose to, one way or the other.
Also, nobody is sent to hell by the Lord. People choose to be thrown headlong into eternal damnation. The heart breaking end of that, is that most haven’t got a clue that it even exists. They either choose not to believe, or choose to adhere to a different gospel or religion that’s been manufactured by the hidden rulers of this world and all of its systems.
By choosing anything but what the Father has planned, you run the risk of being cast down by the strange woman, which is the world in which we live. By following the world down the path that it has to offer, far too many have found out too late, that it isn’t the road to life, but is the way to hell.
The Lord is going through great lengths to make sure that we know the differences between the ways of this world and his ways. Think about it… We’re reading from a book that’s been preserved throughout time, the contents of which will never die.
He’s carefully watched over his Word in order to perform it diligently throughout the years. It’s important to him that we take heed to what he’s trying to get across to us.
He has blazed a road before us. Its destination is eternal, the works performed throughout the journey are rewarded, and as you traverse through all of the storms that come, you’re never alone. This is his will for all of us. It’s his will that none should perish, but instead dwell in the place that he has prepared for us.
That said, there is an endless supply of other roads that this world has blazed before us as well. But no matter how beautifully paved they may be, they all lead in a direction that is meant to keep us from our end that is desired by the Father.
Satan is a thief, and what he wants to steal, is your eternal well-being. Listen to the Father. Hearken unto him, and don’t let a defeated foe take you away from the victories that the Father is just waiting for you to experience.

Prayer
Father,
Thank you for all that you’ve given us through your Word and through your Holy Spirit. Thank you especially, Lord, for the precious gift of the Lord Jesus Christ, whom you sent to pay our wage of sin, and the sins of all who will call upon his name. We cherish your sacrifice, and ask that you guide us in your service, help us to be obedient unto your voice and commands, and cause for us to put a smile on your face, and joy to your heart. This we pray in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Amen
