Sometimes nothing is a lot.
If you're struggling with porn, for example, realizing you lack the
understanding and skill to flee smut actually gives you more strength to resist it than if
you had the wisdom of a thousand Christian sex therapists.
For such irony is the way biblical wisdom works. It starts by humbly
acknowledging your limitations (e.g., lack of gumption to say no to porn). This admission
prepares your heart for accepting strategies from God's Word.
So if you're tired of relying on your own smarts to kick a porn
habit, try admitting, like the author of today's passage, that you're stupid. It could
help make you smarter and stronger in your resistance to porn.
