Words of Wisdom
Let your flesh know who’s in charge. Look for ways to say “no” to yourself everyday. If you do you’ll be able to do it when it really counts. Zero in on the undisciplined areas of our lives that we excuse, rationalize, or postpone dealing with. Paul writes, “Everything is permissible for me- but not everything is beneficial.
How long are we going to keep telling ourselves, “I know I need to change, and I will tomorrow? You have the right to spend your time and money as your please, but you don’t have the rights to complain when the law of diminishing returns kicks in and you finish up in the poor house. You have the right to fill your mind with any kind of garbage you choose. But understand this, constant exposure to the wrong things will weaken your character, rob you of self-respect and eventually enslave you.
When it comes to replacing bad habits with good ones, only one person is going to make it happen-you. Your character is the sum total of your everyday choices. Day by day, what you think, what you choose and what you do, is who you become!
