Passage: Proverbs 7:19-20* (a prostitute is trying to snare a customer)

19. My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.

20. He took his purse filled with money and will not be home till full moon."

Question

What void in your life do you hope porn will fill?

 

Practical help

Verse 19 above may signal one reason the woman wanted to sleep with a stranger: She wasn't getting any sex from her husband because he was on a long trip.

Do you view porn to fill a void in your life? Not enough attention from your spouse? No spouse in the first place?

Most of us sinners know that porn doesn't fill nothin'. If there is a void in our lives, it becomes only vaster and darker with each smut image we view. Ironic, but not funny.

On the other hand, we can allow the irony to jolt us into looking for a truly satisfying solution to the chronic emptiness.

The Bible says such a solution comes only from a relationship with God. Read and study the Bible to find out how. Consider starting with the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.
