Passage:
Psalm 139:1-6*
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.
3. Thou dost scrutinize my path
and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted with
all my ways.
4. Even before there is a word
on my tongue, behold, O LORD, Thou dost know it
all.
5. Thou hast enclosed me behind
and before, and laid Thy hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to
it.
Questions
1. Do you ever feel like
you've run out of chances with God?

good thing for us porn strugglers?
Practical
help
King David (author of this
psalm) is often described as a man after God's own
heart. Wow! Wouldn't we all cherish having that as our
epitaph.
Now consider this David,
this man who loved God dearly, committed adultery,
conspiracy and murder (see 2 Samuel 11). How many of
us would like this footnote at the bottom of our
gravestones?
We porn strugglers can take hold
of the same thing that David did the scope of
God's forgiveness. There's nothing you've done, are
doing or will do that God won't forgive. David trusted
this about God even though he couldn't comprehend it
(verses 5,6). Do you? (If you're not sure,

A God who knows
everything about me and still forgiveness
me! This changes everything.
You bet it can!
