The last two reflections have pressed on a hard question. If God is sovereign over all things, over the diagnosis, the silence, the circumstance that does not relent, then the question that follows is not a small one.

Is he good?

Good in a way that goes deeper than the word as we normally use it. Good that remains true even when the circumstance is painful and the outcome is not what you prayed for.

Because a sovereign God who is not also perfectly wise and perfectly loving is not comforting. He is terrifying. Absolute power without wisdom produces a tyrant. Absolute power without love produces indifference. What makes sovereignty safe to rest in, what turns it from a threat into a comfort, is the character of the one who holds it.

Romans 8:28 doesn't promise the hard season will turn. The next verse says what good actually means.

Over the last 8 months, I've been writing weekly letters (aka Reflections) to a
small community of men. I've got 34 so far and counting.

It recently dawned on me that there are many others who could stand to benefit
from some of these thoughts.

Ironically, I often go back to re-read what I wrote and I find it an
encouragement to me.

God's Word is so rich, a balm for my soul when my focus turns inward instead of
the one who promises to sustain me.

I pray these letters encourage you as well and cause you to seek God
diligently, with all of your heart.

Here is my reflection from last week —

"You say you believe God is sovereign. But do you really?"

My head has believed it for years. Reading Jerry Bridges showed me where my
heart still hasn't.

One word changed how Justin approached his Bible reading — and it's part of what broke a twelve year po*******hy addiction.

He stopped calling it a quiet time.

He started calling it a meeting time with the Lord.

I'm meeting with God tonight after dinner. Before the TV. I'm reading these three chapters. And then — what's my God shot going to be?

Not a habit. Not a ritual. A meeting.

That shift in posture changes everything about how you show up.

Here's the pattern most men know well.

Tell yourself no. Make it a day. Make it two. Make it three. And then by the end of the week — the strength just isn't there.

Justin lived that cycle for over ten years.

Until the approach changed entirely. Not more willpower. More time in the scriptures. Intentionally. Daily. Looking forward to meeting with the God of the Bible.

And then one day it just became clear: the p**n was not worth it.

Here's why stopping is so hard — and why most men's approach to quitting po*******hy never works.

Justin explained it plainly: po*******hy fulfilled a lot of roles for him. If he was angry with his wife. If he was bored. If he had a bad day. If he just needed something exciting — it fulfilled all of those roles.

It wasn't just lust. It was anger. Boredom. Loneliness. A bad day.

That's why willpower alone never works — because willpower doesn't address what the po*******hy was actually doing.

Justin struggled with po*******hy every day for over 10 years.

Then he started reading his Bible chronologically — really reading it, for the first time. And when he got to the story of Abraham and the sacrifice of his son, something broke open.

He saw the gospel. He saw what Jesus did for him.

And the next thought was:

This po*******hy thing is stupid. This is disgusting. I don't have an appetite for this anymore.

Not through a filter. Not through willpower. Through the Word of God.

"O God, you are my God.
Earnestly I seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh feigns for you.
As in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Psalm 63.

That's not just poetic language.
That's not religious writing for effect.

That's a man in physical withdrawal from the absence of God.

Every man who has ever struggled with po*******hy knows exactly what a desperate physical longing feels like.

The hunger is the same.

But the address is different.
