Passage: Proverbs 3:3*
Let love and faithfulness never leave
you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your
heart.
Question
Who are your friends and loved
ones?
Practical help
Our best intentions to forsake porn,
along with other resolutions, sometimes fail because of pragmatic, not
moral, lapses.
If we used practical safeguards, we might stand
stronger — and more steadfastly — in a lot of areas.
The passage above suggests one such safeguard we
can all take, whether we're single, married or divorced. Namely, to
wear physical tokens of the people we love like necklaces.
Example: a photo pendant (whether worn openly or
under our shirt) of our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters,
friends and other loved ones. Keeping reminders of these folks close
to the chest might make us think twice about violating their trust in
us.
So look around for ways to wear emblems of love
and faithfulness around your neck. A little practical help like this
might be all you need to stand strong the next time your tempted by
porn.
