Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway. 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.”
What commands and verses do you need to write on your door posts and gates? When we put key prayers and verses in the quitting notebook and read them every day we are obeying this command. When we leave notes around the house to remind us to turn-from-temptation we are obeying this command. When we focus on praying to turn-from-triggers before, and during watching TV we are obeying this command. When we have a sticky note on the dashboard of our car that says TFT (turn-from-triggers), when we have notes about what new habits we want, when we come back to this site: All of these show our desire to change.
Second, think often about God’s blessing that He promises for keeping His commands. It takes longer to get them than we think (Because I am more sinful than I think). But when we get God’s blessings… They are great.
Summary: Write out commands, notes, and prayers. Read them, recite them, and pray about them often. Finally, expect the blessing (Someday). If you are dedicated to the end, and if you change, the blessing will happen.
