Regarding sexual immorality, Paul clarifies that we are not to use the body He gave us to gratify our carnal lusts. God has entrusted each of us with a physical body with which to serve Him. When we use it for immorality, it’s like taking a policeman’s cruiser and joy-riding with it. It is CLEARLY unauthorized use of that vehicle, and prosecution is sure to occur.

Further, we honor the Lord when we keep our minds free from lustful thinking. Jesus commands us to avoid committing adultery in our hearts.

PRAYER: Father, I hereby present my mind and my body to serve You. I was created for Your pleasure and not my own. I look forward to my heavenly reward for honoring and worshiping You.
