Yesterday, we watched something absolutely inappropriate. Guarding our eyes from evil, is what we should have done. I didn't know that the movie that we were watching was going to go in that direction.
Sometimes men can handle such thoughts about wickedness, but a gentle girl must do all in her power to resist those hardening influences that can cast our hearts and souls in a "hellish direction".
But this is today. What do we do after the damage has been done? How do we purify our souls and minds and how do we use our experience for good? This is today's quest!
I am grateful for a beautiful testimony service, where a woman of God who had the night before gone through something that she described as similar to what was in the movie that we saw last night; (in real life!!!)spoke of the power of God to resist the enemy of her soul and her body. She rose on that Lord's day and showed us that God is stronger than the strong man and our protector, even when we have not the strength to defend ourselves.
Thank God for a good and gracious Daddy and let us find, how God would have us use this experience of misused mental and emotional effort, for his glory today.
Let us, beware of having hard thoughts of God and men and putting wicked motives upon everyone's actions. This is hard to do.
God, please, forgive us and cleanse us and use this experience of calloused indifference in watching that movie to shake us from our "mortal ease!"
