Day 26

Before I share the devotion for the day. I want to share my Daniel's translation of verse that is my shield in this topic. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20. My version:

Flee from sexual immorality. For you are not your own. You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.


This is something to remember in life. We aren't our own, we don't have permission to seek, desire, or do that which God says we can't.

Read Matthew 5:28-29

"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."


1. Think back over the last 24 hours. What sexually suggestive messages have you been exposed to (including songs, commercials, ads, movies, magazines, conversations, web sites, etc.)

2. Why do you think Jesus equated lust with the sin of adultery?

3. What does it mean to "pluck out" a lustful eye or "cut off" a lustful hand? (Hint: This is not a call to physically hurt yourself ;)

4. What are some ways you can flee sexual immorality?

5. What does it mean to be pure?

6. Pray specifically today that God would strengthen you as you fast.

7. Journal any thoughts you may have.
