In those moments when we
are wrestling with the nagging temptation to log on to
Web porn, peace of mind is the thing farthest from our
experience. Our minds and hearts are in turmoil. Our
hearts pound, and our palms sweat. We become agitated.
Our minds are filled with images and the common
self-justifications. The battle rages on, and it may
seem in those moments that the only way to find peace
from this relentless temptation is to follow its
course. We either give in to the lie of lust or we
turn our minds in the direction of the only One who
can give perfect peace.
Having our minds stayed on Jesus
means that we lean hard upon Him or take firm hold of
Him. We look to Him for all we need, and we trust Him
to help and sustain us in His grace even in the
area of sexual temptation. With your mind stayed on
Jesus, today He will keep you in perfect peace. Go
ahead and take hold of Jesus right now.
