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.
