Yesterday I slept late, and forgot my Bible reading. I was often angry, and I was completely discontent with life. I prayed a lot, but my prayers only partially worked.
Today, I read my 5 chapters and at midday, and I have had no anger or lack of contentment.
Does Bible reading guarantee a perfect life? No!!!! But, skipping it allows our emotions and temptations to get or stay out of control. Reading it allows the Holy Spirit to increase in us and it gives us the opportunity to increase the power of our prayer, and the chance to better fight temptation.
Second, I am making habits of praying:
“Father, help me to hate ______.”
“Father, help me to fear ______.”
“Father, help me to run from ______.”
We can all learn from the person with a lust habit. The tempting scene is starting and if we forward fast and cover our eyes we might miss something.
Destruction
Discontentment
A very scary conversation on judgement day.
If you give in, the only thing you get is “What you want.” No joy. Wait, you also get destruction.
You miss “nothing” when you steer as far around (and away from) temptation as you can go. You miss nothing except bad things. Don’t let satan fool you like he fooled Eve. That ended very badly.
What habits will you work on to improve your fight?
