How you complete this sentence tells a lot about about you. Some say "a
beach." The sports-inclined say "baseball," "football," even "lacrosse."
Many would say "a destination." And that's wrong.
Though it's tempting to view life as conquest — of a career, of a mate, of
an addiction to pornography — the psalmist knows too much about life to
fall into casual thinking. Life is a journey. The word implies progress and
regress. Right turns and wrong turns. Process over product. In short, it
describes our experiences until the day we die. Those who realize this are
blessed with the knowledge of reality.
Let the reality of your life's journey encourage you in the midst of your
struggles to resist pornography. You won't win all of the battles — the
false notion of a final endpoint. But you can walk on.
