Romans 1:24
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves
I think verse 24 is one of the saddest statements in the Bible: "God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity". I like to think that God will somehow protect me from my sinful desires and their consequences. He does indeed want to protect me, but there comes a point where God says "enough", and allows us to fall into sin. Having a sinful desire come true may at first seem like fun, but it ends up degrading us. So what is my deep desire? Is it to have a wild sexual encounter, or is it to know God?
God, please protect me from my sinful desires, and help me to desire You.
