"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly."
~Psalm 84:11 (ESV)We live in a culture where, sadly, it is easier than opening a door to open our eyes, hearts, and minds to whatever we please--immorality on which to completely and grievously waste our sexuality. Beginning with our own hearts, our world is filled with humans that have rejected and distorted God's plan for marriage and sex within marriage. We make a false god, an idol, and a refuge out of mere sex and sensuality--yet we are never satisfied. We are deceived.
O, that God would open our blind eyes to see that His ways are always right. He is always kind and always faithful! So blinding are the temptations that we run into that are right in front of us constantly that we cannot bring ourselves to think for a moment that there is not only something far better, but that is unbeatable and unstoppable--God's sovereign plan and wonderful design! My we believe this and be restored. There is hope and God will restore to us the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25)!
