In context, #proverbs 5:5-6 is talking about an adulterous woman, but the principle applies more broadly. Many people whose feet are leading them down a destructive path believe that they are doing right.
The problem is that they are trusting in their own innate sense of right and wrong, when the advice of our own hearts is always tainted by an evil inclination. We need an external, objective standard to keep our consciences in line.

Like Satan, #korah, et al, told a half-truth. All the people ARE holy, but Moses and Aaron didn't lift themselves up. God put them in charge, so rebelling against them was rebelling against God, but Korah wasn't content with the great honor that God had already given him. He wasn't entirely wrong, though, when he justified his mutiny by saying that all the people are holy.
#numbers 16:3 #korach
#korach was a Levite with a great calling from God, but it wasn't enough. Like Lucifer, he wanted more. His allies in rebellion were well-placed Reubenites, and their actions mirrored those of their ancestor, Reuben, who tried to usurp his father's place.
God's anointing is both blessing and burden. Don't seek it lightly.

Psalm 46:9, “He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the chariots in the fire.” As with any conflict every ceasefire is fragile because there are evil people who thrive on destruction. We continue to pray that our Creator will do what He needs to do so that His plan that will bring Him glory will be accomplished.
FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – CHUQQATH:
“And all the congregation of the children of Yisrael set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the mouth of YHWH, and camped in Rephiḏim. And there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore, the people strove with Moshe, and said, ‘Give us water to drink.’ And Moshe said to them, ‘Why do you strive with me? Why do you try YHWH?’ And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moshe, and said, Why did you bring us out of Mitsrayim, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?’ Then Moshe cried out to YHWH, saying, ‘What am I to do with this people? Yet a little and they shall stone me!’ And YHWH said to Moshe, ‘Pass over before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Yisrael. And take in your hand your rod with which you struck the river, and go. See, I am standing before you there on the rock in Ḥorĕḇ. And you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people shall drink.’ And Moshe did so before the eyes of the elders of Yisrael. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meriḇah, because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Yisrael, and because they ‘tried’ YHWH, saying, ‘Is YHWH in our midst or not?’”
“For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were immersed into Moshe in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed, and the Rock was Messiah.”
