Often when we are trying to recover from something, we struggle with where to go and how to get there. Luke 11:27-28 gives a simple and clear direction for us but it is often difficult to follow. “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”. Wow, clear and simple. Yet we are struggling with keeping it - obeying - what am I supposed to be obeying? Why is this such a struggle? Ok, lets go back to the beginning. The Ten Commandments - some of this starts there. Duet 5:18 “do not commit adultery”. Ok, married guys have clear direction from the beginning. God wants our relationship to be simple and clear. God first, spouse second and only the spouse. Simple in theory - that means visuals, thoughts , memories, etc in the emotional and physical realm are to be singularly focused on the spouse. You have to put all the rest away. What about single guys? No real clear guidance in the Ten. But wait, it is not over - 2 Cor 6:6 / 1 Tim 4:12 / 1 Pet 3:2 all address purity across the board. No escape or avoidance for any of us. Purity is an expectation of God. So why don’t we see that Blessing God is waiting to bestow on us? Are we in our own way, stumbling over this issue and preventing God from blessing us? Are we in God’s way preventing his will to bless us from being carried out? Think about this and consider if our selfish moments are more important than the will of God? Are our desires more amazing / exciting / extraordinary / glorious than the blessings of God? You have to decide. You have the choice!
