Hello future self/anyone reading this:
How's it goin?
So, lately I've realized, that as a christian, I struggle with avoiding temptation. I pretty much welcome it. Instead of running from it like I should be, I actually go looking for it. If you're a christian who struggles with this as well... Go read Psalm 101.. Right now... I read it last night and it convicted my heart a lot. I've been talking with my discipler about how I will purposefully go to certain instagram pages just because they post pictures of things I struggle with... and even though I am not doing those things anymore, I'm not staying away from it like I need to be.
Psalm 101 actually says "I will set my eyes before no vile thing" , and if it has anything to do with sin, it is vile.. and I shouldn't be welcoming it.
I believe that whatever you put in your mind will eventually come out.
So be careful. I'm going to be trying that this week.
It's so hard though because it's sin... and I naturally like it... but in order to truly follow my God I need to abandon those things. God is the only thing that will make me happy, and I love Him so why would I want to think on things that take me away from Him?
Just some mental reminders for myself.
