“You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
I just had a cashier tell me "I'm married but I still look, I don't touch but I look." :-(
This made me sad. She was speaking about the gentleman in front of me in her line. I'm not trying to point out her sin at all but yesterday the Lord reminded me that sin starts in the mind.
The enemy who is always looking to trip us up throws darts in our mind, if we don't throw it out right away you better believe it's going to turn into something bad. Now, don't mistake me I have "looked" too. Married and unmarried and I am sad that I have done this. Sometimes I glance and then turn right away or while at the gym I try and keep my head down. It's not the first look but the second and it's the heart guys....
If the enemy plants an idea in our mind and we think twice about it eventually it goes to our heart. Jesus clearly states if it's thought about about it's sin. I deliberately committed 2 sins this week that I know I ran right into. I thought about why I did this when I knew it was wrong. After thinking about it I realized I played with the thought for a bit before committing the action :-/ that is kind of scary.
Okay, so we know that none of us our without sin and we realize we all need a Savior but it doesn't mean we should go on sinning. And with Christ we have the power to resist temptation. We reap what we sow friends so let's take caution to that. Married or un married don't look!!! Don't play with the impure thoughts the enemy throws at you. Make all your thoughts obedient to Christ.
I'm writing this from my car because I needed to get this little message out :-)
