How do you fight such an ominous beast? I'm sure you've been there; the place where you were trapped, you had no where to turn, nothing tangible to hold on to as you fell helplessly into the gaping abyss with seemingly no bottom. I've been there, with the ugly fiend of sin before me, secret but very real. All love, hope, joy, and delight were stolen away by the foreboding shadow looming before me. But in the midst of doubt and despair I caught a narrow glimpse of hope, the monster's weakness, it was found in the Bible.
"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." Psalms 119:6
The question presented in this verse is a valid one: by asking how a man may cleanse his way, the psalmist asks how one may be rid of the great sin-monster. His answer is terse (short and to the point), and it is not a philosophical wonder; it is a simple yet powerful solution to a prevalent problem. Heed God's Word. We know already that God's Word is the Bible, and if I assume that the very first post on this blog is truely founded, it would be safe to supopose that heeding God is congruent with heeding His Word, afterall "All scripture is God-breathed." Give it a try and see; I'm sure you'll be surprised by the results. Read the Bible daily, meditate on it, and keep it fresh on your mind throughout the day. God can help you defeat the secret sins that tear you apart.
