Job 31:1
“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman”
You probably know this already, but if you were to poll those at your weekly men’s Bible study about their top struggle in the Christian walk, it would probably have something to do with sexual lust. They’d likely tell you that their eye go where they shouldn’t and it’s only a matter of time before the mind follows.
It probably wouldn’t come as a news to you if someone were to tell you that it’s not easy to avoid seeing lust-inducing images in today’s world. We live in an R-rated world, and even movies and television shows containing a PG rating often, if not usually, include scenes that can cause the mind to wander to places God doesn’t want it to go.
So, how do we win this battle? It’s a matter of commitment or, as a job, put it, making a covenant with your eyes not to intentionally view lust-inducing images. And when you make a commitment to focus on the right things, namely your love for your family and your God, you will find yourself overcoming the battle of your mind.
