2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
-Let Everything That Has Breath Matt Redman
Everything I have recently come across has been pointing me in one direction. I should leave the old behind. It is leaving me bound tightly and slightly blind. The hardest thing about getting on track is that it is painful. The good thing about this short pain is that it will produce a glory that will last forever. The better thing about this pain is that in the end it will produce something fruitful.
I did not make time to read my bible today but I felt that God spoke to me anyway. This one simple thought played gently over and over again, lay your addiction down. In the Bible he often speaks about how jealous he is. It says that you cannot serve two masters. By giving into this "addiction" I have made it like an idol. This situation is restricting me from genuine worship. How can I focus on Jesus whom I love so much when my mind is constantly focused on someone else?
