DAY 5 OF 12

Strength & Honor

The two words that should mark our thoughts on sex are honor and strength. The word honor speaks of worth. If you honor something, you put a high value on it; you esteem it as being precious. Unfortunately, we live in a day where honor is in short supply. The world could do with a great deal more honor, especially when it comes to our love lives. The Bible tells us clearly that marriage and sex are to be honored.

Honor is the path to your greatest pleasure. Don’t treat yourself like a flimsy Styrofoam cup, or a utilitarian diner mug. You are like a piece of fine china: delicate, beautiful, and fragile. You are a one-of-a-kind work of art, and the impact you are meant to have on this world extends far beyond your lifetime.

Talking about treating sex with honor is easy, but living it out is a whole ’nother thing. This is where strength comes in. It takes strength to rise up in honor. It’s not going to happen on accident or by default, and it might even cost you something.

I have found that, outside of receiving salvation by grace, nothing sweet comes without sweat. You must be willing to fight—for your marriage (now or in the future) and for your calling. You need to fight for the souls of those whom God wants you to reach; but you’ll never get the chance to reach them if you sell yourself short. I’m here to tell you if you don’t fight for honor, you’re kissing the life Jesus died for you to have goodbye.

The world needs Jesus, and we can’t help others if we are so tangled up in slavery to sexual sin ourselves that we can’t see straight. Suit up for battle, pray always, be sober and vigilant, surround yourself with godly people, don’t expose yourself to more temptation than would be wise, hide God’s word in your heart, and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit. You were born for this!

Remember: Honor is the path to your greatest pleasure.
