Passage: Isaiah 41:10* So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Question In the passage above, whose righteousness upholds the writer, Isaiah?   Practical help Many porn strugglers think that it takes righteousness on their part to quit smut. When the chips are down, however, it's God's righteousness that counts — according to the passage above. There's more. God's powerful holiness — symbolized in the reference to his hand — both delivers us from sin and holds us high. This is good news. God will not only deliver us from smut — relief in and of itself — but lift us high above shame, bad memories and self-doubt — stuff that otherwise would keep us pinned down emotionally. God's deliverance is complete: Call on him to lift you up as well as out of smut. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
