Passage: Psalms 16:7-8*

7. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.

8. I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Questions

1. How can a person get counsel from God?

 

2. What does your heart instruct you to do in regards to viewing web porn?

 

3. What does it mean to have God at your right hand?

 

Helpful Hints

Some people are shaken by the seemingly overwhelming temptation to view web porn. Even when they want to say no, the temptation is very strong. How did the writer of this Bible passage learn to say no to temptation? He used the counsel of God and stayed so close to God (at his right hand) that he would not be shaken. The lesson for all of us is to stay close to God and allow His counsel to direct us. Even when there is a temptation, it will not be so overwhelming.
