Devotional

I recently watched the Social Dilemma on Netflix. It terrified me. I haven’t had Facebook for years but this made me delete the rest of my social media accounts from my phone. These last two weeks I have felt more positive, free from the mindless scrolling, and more importantly free from unwanted thoughts encapsulating me. When it comes to sin I strongly believe that being proactive instead of reactive has tremendously helped me. I didn’t think my social media was even bad but after removing it from my life I feel as though my heart and mind are more clearly directed towards God. I feel like I have fixed my eyes more squarely on Jesus and am pushing on towards the goal. In Matthew 5 Jesus makes ‘do not commit adultery’ into a heart issue by raising the standard to ‘everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.’ If that’s not shocking enough Jesus then says,


If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you…if your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go to hell.

~Matthew 5:29-30

Sexual immorality is a serious issue and yet I see how deeply rooted it has become in our society. I’m 27 years old and have grown up with sexual immorality all around me. I can’t remember a time where purity thrived and it terrifies me for my two children now. We have moved so far away from the perfect creation story in Genesis 2 and look more like a Romans 1 society. A people with “lust in their hearts…dishonorable passions, and a debased mind.”


Jesus is calling us out of that world. Man was created in purity and we need to push on towards purity. Let us be a watchful people, a people who are diligent, who resist temptations, who set boundaries, and honor our God with every thought.
