Pensamento:
Morando num mundo super-carregado com estímulos sensuais, e encarando a prevalência de pornografia na internet e na mídia, como você está lidando com esta questão?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Living in a sexually supercharged world and facing the prevalence of pornography on the Internet and in today's media, how are you doing with this issue? Jesus challenges us to recognize that sin starts in our hearts and begins when we longingly seek what is not ours to have. While the world may think such rigorous guarding of our hearts as impossible or ridiculous, Jesus wants us to know he takes sexual sin — and the place it begins, the lust of our hearts — seriously.
Oração:
Amoroso Pai, dê-me a força para resistir à tentação sexual; a sabedoria de ficar longe dela; e o caráter para triunfar sobre ela. No poderoso nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Veja outra meditação sobre este versículo em http://www.hermeneutica.com/jd/1/0520.html e a imagem em http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_mateus5_28.html
My Prayer...
Loving Father, give me the strength to resist sexual temptation, the wisdom to stay away from it, and the character to triumph over it. Purify my heart, O God, and make it yearn for what is holy and life-giving. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
