A Man’s Fight – Lust
Lust is passionately wanting (desiring) something
that is contrary to God’s will so badly that you feel like you will die without
it. We can shorten the definition to an ungodly desire. To
clarify, we can desire the things of God as we delight ourselves in His Word and,
as a result, desire the right things as the Lord purifies our hearts (Psalm
37:4). Or we can desire (lust) the
things that are not of God like greed, pride, premarital sex, and revenge. This
particular battle becomes harder the older you get, because you begin to desire
more things that are contrary to the will of God. The only way to be ready then is
to start the battle now. Stand up Young Men of God!
God will be
with you, but you have to stand against the temptation to lust and actively
fight against those wrong desires (1 Cor. 10:12-13; 2 Cor. 10:2-5). You can win with God!
