"Evil pursues sinners..." (Verse 21)
Hmm, isn't that a scary thought? Evil will try and find us if we sin?! Yes. Evil will creep on us the more we sin, because the more we sin, the more desensitized we become sin. It becomes easier for evil to swallow us.
I also LOVE how the end of this chapter brings up the idea of eating and the stomach. The stomach, in these verses, represent that natural appetite of human beings. That is food, safety, sexual desires, or any other type of natural want. But, as these verses explain, a wise man does not let his natural desires control him. He is more interested in feeding the desires of his soul (his relationship with Christ and salvation) than his natural desires.
Interesting reading, I must say.
