Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand
strong in the face of sexual temptation.
This is part two of five studies
which consider how Psalm 19 offers insights into the full
life in God.
Passage:
Psalm 19:4b-6*
4b. In the heavens he has
pitched a tent for the sun,
5. which is like a bridegroom
coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his
course.
6. It rises at one end of the
heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
Questions
1. Are "tomorrows"
something you look forward to, or do you fear
them?
2. How can the "newness" of a
sunrise help you fight off porn?
Practical
help
Of the many graces our God
bestows on us day-in and day-out, among the richest is
just that "day-in and day-out." Every crack of
dawn is new and unique. Every prior sunset is history
what's done is done, what wasn't,
wasn't.
Every day you get a new canvas
and an opportunity to paint your soon-to-be past. It
doesn't matter what's hanging in your life's gallery,
because in-between the days you've painted God places
one he's painted. This one has just two images on it
a bloodstained cross and an empty tomb.

the significance of these images.)
Before you start to paint your
day, take some time to appreciate what God paints for
you. It will help you envision that today can be the
day that you don't paint porn into the picture. And
remember that each day you paint will be surrounded by
amazing grace. Paint away!
