You cannot live in our sexually satiated society without experiencing sexual temptation therefore it is critical to prepare for it.
Rule #1: Listen to Godly counsel. “My son…my commands…will keep you from the adulteress… ” (Proverbs 7:1, 5).
Rule #2: Don’t window shop. Let Job be your example. He, “…made a covenant with [his] eyes not to look lustfully at a girl” (Job 31:1).
Rule #3: Guard your thought life. The Living Bible says, “Temptation is the pull of man’s own evil thoughts…These evil thoughts lead to evil actions…” (James 1:14, 15).
Rule #4: Count the cost. “…the man who commits adultery is an utter fool,
for he destroys himself” (Proverbs 6:32).
Lord, deliver us from temptation, lest in our selfishness we destroy ourselves and those we love. Amen.
