Passage: Psalms
1:1-2,6*
1. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
6. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will
perish.
Questions
1. What does viewing web porn say about the things you delight in?
2. After viewing web porn, on what do you meditate?
3. What do you think are the blessings of the man in verse one?
Practical help
The images of pornography are difficult to erase. In the same way a
computer can only retrieve what is put into it, the mind will focus on the images and
information that it is given. One of the best ways to erase the images of web porn is to
never see them. Another way is to follow the teachings of this passage and spend your time
focused on God's word. As the writer suggests, a man can actually delight in meditating on
God's word. Maybe you have never thought of this kind of meditation as a delight, but for
those who do, God watches over their way.
