Passage: Psalm 139:1-2*

1. O LORD, Thou hast searched me and known me.

2. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar.

Questions

1. Have you managed to hide your porn problem from loved ones and friends?

 

2. Does anyone know you better than you do?

 

Practical help

When I was a kid and didn't have an answer to a question I'd often respond with a "Search me?" as if to guarantee that a thorough search would indeed prove that I didn't have the answer.

Do you find yourself responding like this when the clutches of porn are wrapped so tight that you wonder if you'll get another breath?

Well, here's freedom for another breath — God has searched you and He knows you. You're not hiding anything from His knowledge. Not the times of appreciation when you avoided the lure of smut or the times of regret when you didn't. When you fall prey to porn and later ask yourself "What was I thinking?" believe this — God knows, even if you don't.

Sounds scary, but it's not. Having this problem laid bare before the God who made you is (as it's now popular to say) huge. God's love and grace are much bigger than your problem.
