strong in the face of sexual temptation.
Passage:
Proverbs 1:33*
"But whoever listens to me
[Wisdom] will live in safety and be at ease,
without fear of harm."
Question
If you're a porn
struggler, what do you fear the most?
Practical
help
Whatever we don't do in
faith brings on its opposite fear.
We know viewing porn is not an
act of faith, so we shouldn't be surprised when the
habit engenders various kinds of fear of being
caught, of living in humiliation, of sinking further
into the smut.
If you're caught up in such
fear, the passage above can be good news. It says your
fears will go away if you listen to wisdom.
Heeding it may take longer, but
don't worry about that now. Just take the first step:
Listen to wisdom (read the Bible, seek godly counsel,
etc.).
Wisdom will prove to be a
formidable persuader, and in due time you will heed
it.
Meantime, look forward to living
with less and less fear.
