"The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, But the naive go on, and are
punished for it" (Proverbs 22:3 NASB). It is only the naive that think
lightly of evil. They don't see how it can affect them. So they are not
concerned with what they let influence their lives. They never read a review
about the moral content of a movie or T.V. show before they watch it. They
are not upset when their friends curse and get drunk. They are not concerned
about the music fills their children's ears. They don't see the harm in
these things. Slowly but surely though, their minds are filled with darkness
and immorality, their faith in God weakens, and their children take paths
away from God. They didn't guard their hearts (cf. Proverbs 4:23) and they
will reap the consequences of their carelessness. It is prudent and wise to
watch out for evil and to avoid it so that we can guard our hearts and the
hearts of our children.
