Sexually explicit thoughts are usually involuntary, at least initially. If you welcome such thoughts and embellish them, they become sin. If you immediately repudiate them, they are nothing more than temptation. As someone has said, “A man can’t keep the birds from flying over his head, but he can stop them from building a nest in his hair.”
“Temptation is the pull of man’s own evil thoughts and wishes. These evil thoughts lead to evil actions and afterwards to the death penalty from God”
— James 1:14-15 (TLB)
Lord Jesus, help us to put on the helmet of salvation (Eph. 6:17) so our mind will be renewed and protected from evil thoughts. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
