How to look at a woman.

I was reading this morning in Job 31:1, that Job had made a covenant with his eyes that he would never look at a woman the wrong way.  Jesus said, if we look at a woman with lust in our heart that we have sinned.  God has made it very clear how we are to approach this sybject.  Now 80% of men struglle with this problem from time to time in their lives so how do we overcome it.  It is neither simple or easy.  First, you must make a decision you are not going to be overcomed but to overcome this problem.  An act of the will is the first step, next you need to make yourself accountable to another person.  Accountability means you are not alone in this problem.  Thirdly, whenever the temptation arises, think on holy, righteous, pure and lovely thoughts.  Fourthly at that time quote scripture.  Each time the feelings or temptation comes do this and you will find that the temptation will be less and less until it disappears or rarely comes around.  Job did and God gave him the victory and you can have it as well.
