Are you a Godly Man? If so, what or where are you Drinking?

In Hebrew there are approximately 145 definition combinations for the word man that is used in scripture.

One word in particular is "Geber".  In Strong's Concordance it has a root word definition meaning of " a valiant man or warrior, or in essence a mighty man.  Which is similarly to the Hebrew word "gibor" defined as to "excel".

Another Hebrew word "Gever" comes from the same root word "Gavar", defines as "to overcome or conquer"So a true man is one that overcomes!  But the question is:  To overcome what?

To overcome the evil inclination!

The desire for humankind to follow their physical passions above the will of GOD are submitting to their evil inclinations. 

Proverbs 5:15-18 reads

15. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Cistern in this text refers to a woman and waters  to joy and love, Well is akin to cistern (woman)

Verse meaning-----it is the will of GOD for a man to devoted and espoused to one woman

16. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad and rivers of waters in the streets.

Fountains refers to children, Rivers of Waters refers to let these children bring you joy

Verse meaning----- children from this union should bring you joy.

17. Let them be only thine won and not strangers with thee.

Verse meaning-----you should only have children from this union and not from various relationships in which there were no union.

18. Let thy fountain be blessed and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

Fountains refers to children

Verse meaning-----children from this union should be blessed and you should rejoice with your own wife.

So I ask the questions:  Are you a Godly Man? If so, what or where are you Drinking?
