Proverbs 12:1 “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.” Proverbs 19:3 “A man’s own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord.”
Romans 6:12 “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you obey its evil desires.”
Romans 6:16 “Dont you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as a slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?”
When I quit drinking I had to chose to STOP turning to alcohol and START turning to God. I had to concentrate on what I wanted to do now, not what I wanted to stop doing. I had to leave my sin in the past and pursue a sober fulfilling life. In AA we say, “Don’t drink go to meetings.” Stop and Go! Go is what helps me stay clean. I pursue right living. When I pursue the right, the wrong falls away. When we stop a bad behavior, we leave a vacuum. Fill that vacuum with pursuing God. Pursue what will help you not hurt you. What will you pursue today?
