Wearing a ring doesn't offer protection...

 No sin in beyond you.

Don't be overconfident...thinking it's not that easy for you to go astray

There's a very thin line between purity and promiscuity 

...a thin line between faithfulness and flirting

He who thinks he stands should take heed lest he fall...

Your being a "prayer mama" or " prayer papa" doesn't guarantee that issues of lust and greed will pass you by.

Be on your guard...have accountability partners....put practical measures in place...flee if need be!

We all know the people we are easily drawn to. Some of us may still reminisce about old relationships even after 20 years of being married to another person. We need to draw thick lines when dealing with matters of the opposite sex especially when we're married. Your wearing a ring doesn't offer any protection, actually...I have heard some men say when it comes to having 'side-chics', that they even like married or pregnant women better than the singles. Also, some women are of the notion that going after married men is more exciting because married men are sometimes viewed as 'more responsible'.

No matter your age or status as a woman (or man), there would always be someone who is attracted to you. We need to be well aware of this and remain cautious on all occasions.

Lust. Desires. Weaknesses. Corruption. Adultery. They are real. 

'Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. ' Matthew 26:41

Truly, 'without Jesus, we fall apart....we have no strength in ourselves to keep pure...but through Him, with Him and in Him, nothing is impossible. 

A hymnist writes - "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it...Prone to leave the God I love...Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it...Seal it for Thy courts above." 

Whenever we stray in our thoughts, especially concerning matters of purity and faithfulness, let us perceive that as a reminder of how frail we are in our own efforts, and as a call to run more and more into God's open and loving arms. "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust." - Psalm 103:13&14

Lord, we need You every hour. You're the One Who guards our hearts. Our Righteousness. Oh Lord, how we need You.
