Many people who struggle with habits are currently in a rut. Life is not great, and any glimpse of pleasure seems great.
When a tiny bit of pleasure is available from the habit, you have a choice… Stay in that rut, and add that pleasure, or do things God’s way.
God offers 5 times as much joy later (With no destruction added). God offers a great purpose driven life. God offers His great presence available to us right now. We just have to turn from sin and pray fervently about purpose.
Second, people constantly trade in their joy for the year in exchange for a few hours of wrongful pleasure.
My joy will be 100% higher than any person in the world who does this. Consider praying:
“Father, I will fight this wrongful pleasure. I choose long-term joy. I choose Your way.”
Third, people constantly trade in their joy in exchange for a few hours of level two or level three pleasure. Note: This is the best satan can offer. God does offer us level ten pleasure, but we need to go to war with sin to get there.
Psalm 16 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Consider memorizing this great verse.
Consider working on change until this verse starts to come true. Consider working on healthier habits until this verse starts to be true for you. Consider saving this verse in your phone and reviewing it every time you are tempted.
Consider praying:
“Father, show me how this verse is true.”
“Father, I will run from sin.”
The truth of this verse is not a secret. It’s a choice.
