temptation.
Passage: Psalm 23:3b*
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Question
What do you think it means to be lead by God in paths of righteousness?
Practical help
David understood that God always lead him in the perfect and right way. He learned through his experience with God that His paths of righteousness were always the best for him. Generally speaking, David trusted in God’s direction for his life and rested in the truth that God was his Guide.
God also leads us in His right and perfect way. That’s what we need. That’s what will bring true blessing to our lives and glory to God as well. Walking on the dark, lonely road of porn use is nothing but a dead end.
David didn’t always walk in God’s righteous path. When he didn’t, he suffered with the consequences of his sin and its pain. David was very much aware that his right standing before God came as a gift because of his faith, not because of his own righteous deeds. David experienced God’s forgiveness for his sexual sin.
Take a break from porn. It might help you today to see God as your loving Guide. Stop stumbling down the road of smut. Remember that if you are a Christian your right standing with God is a gift because you have believed in His Son as our Savior. You have freedom to take a step closer to Him and begin to know Him as your Guide. He will also restore you to purity and lead you in His righteous way.
