Passage:
Psalm 19:7b*
The testimony of the LORD
is sure, making wise the simple.
Questions
1. Do problems in your
life seem too complex to tackle?
2. Has trying to "out smart" a
porn habit left you feeling like an
imbecile?
Practical
help
If I'm in the midst of a
struggle with lust and/or pornography, it seems to be
easier in my mind to chalk up the failures to the
complexity of the situation in my particular life
"Hey, there are intricate, hard to understand
and unavoidable pressures which lead up to my
failures. No one could do better." There!
Rationalization 101 has staved off the guilt for yet
another day.
Does this sound familiar? If so,
then today's verse is rich in intellectual acumen
if you want to act wisely in dealing with your
problem, then employ the KISS principle:
Keep It Simple, Stupid.
God's word (His testimony through the Bible) can be a
sure thing for you! It contains great news
(click

news), great
insights, great strategies and great relief, and if
you simply come to it, a revelation of the
greatest love you'll ever know.
Try responding to your
"difficult" problem with a "simple" solution.
