Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
As in Exodus 20:14 and Deuteronomy 5:18 "You are not to commit adultery."
And what does this mean? It means we are not to go to another for sex when you or they are married. Proverbs 6:27-29 tells us not to "go into" another man's wife and if he does he will not go unpunished.
Jesus coined more than just the act.
In Matthew 5: 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
So, if a man sees a beautiful woman, or if a woman sees a handsome man, the thoughts that resonate with us should be "he/she is a beautiful person" and not a lustful thought.
I heard a preacher one time talk about this and he had trouble with lust, prayed about it, then one day he felt that God told him it is okay to see the beauty, and he need not lust. After that he commented that he could see a beautiful woman for her beauty and the lustful thoughts did not come.
I feel this is where we all should be, seeing the beauty God has created, whether it be man, woman, earth, skies, or whatever, just see the beauty. Thanks for reading today. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
