*DAILY DEW 24/MAY/2024* *GUARDED SEXUALITY* (4) _Key Bible Text:_ *Do you know the saying, "Drink from your own rain barrel, draw water from your own spring-fed well"? It's true. Otherwise, you may one day come home and find your barrel empty and your well polluted.* (Proverbs 5:15-16 (Message)) _Bible Insight:_ Your sexuality must be preserved for the right time and for the right person. Your ability to "hold yourself", "keep your body under", "zip up" and tarry until marriage where the bed is undefiled, is one of the keys to a successful life after marriage/wedding. Sexual carelessness and "liberality" may lead to some serious depletion when you are finally ready to settle into your home. It also depletes the wine (sweetness and harmony) of your marriage if you indulge in such. And this is beyond the issue of children, because there are many aspects of a married life that requires your "full life" and not your "left over life"! (Early or extra-marital) exposure to sexuality outside/before marriage will definitely bring more complex and complicated dynamics to life and marriage. It is perfectly in order and even the best to start off on a green and naive note and grow in the experience with your married spouse. Managing sexual expectations in marriage requires openness and understanding before and after wedding. _MEDITATION:_ *"Your spring water is for you and you only, not to be passed around among strangers. Bless your fresh-flowing fountain! Enjoy the wife you married as a young man! Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose--don't ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted! Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore? for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?!"* Proverbs 5:17-20 (Message) *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
