.. easy/quick fixes.
Examples:
instead of making a sandwich, or rather actually going upstairs and really cooking something, I will instead heat up a thing of soup and eat it with crackers.
I feel alone, so instead of praying and reading my bible, searching for Him...I text someone, get on facebook, etc.
I get tired, so I try to take a quick nap (which usually lasts way long than intended) instead of pushing through and going to sleep earlier at night.
Anyone have suggestions for me about how to specifically overcome this addiction? Verses I can memorize, reminders I can put up?
If you do, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Lord, help me to seek out what is truly good, not what is simply easy.
Through You I can do all things, help this to be true in my life.
with love, to Love. Amen

I'll look for some and get back to you asap! I could use verses about that too so maybe I'll memorize them with you. I love you!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many... if you start the practice of regularly memorizing anything in the Word, God will apply it through His Spirit. However, this was the first section of scripture that popped into my mind.
ReplyDelete"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
~Galatians 6:7-9
... sowing a "seed", or a "small quick fix" may not seem like much at the time, but every action we do produces some kind of harvest!
ReplyDeleteI love you very much!
Thank you Elise! I'm putting that verse on my wall as soon as I post this comment.
ReplyDeleteI do recognize that most of my "quick" fixes can be very harmful to me which is why I asked for help in over coming them. So thank you so much!
And thanks Michelle. =)
