Lent Day 2 - Breaking bad habits.

I find it easier to pick up an old habit and leave behind the new habits I try to start in my life. Today I realized even more, how difficult it may be to say NO to something that is not even good for me. Peter shares something with us in Romans 7 - For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. ¹⁹For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. there is so much truth in this verse that is relevant to what I am writing about. I find it so much easier to take the easy road to life. It is precisely that which we are warned about. We cannot live our lives just carrying on with the things that are not good for us. If we want to see changes in our lives then, we need to carry out the good that our soul truly desires for us. God does not command us to live a mediocre life. He wants us to enjoy it to the fullest, live it to our finest. If there is anything I will do is learn to identify the other bad habits in my life that need to be broken. The only way that I will be able to accomplish this is putting GOD before anything. So foremost, is our relationship with GOD, so he can then enable us to pursue the rest.
