I can have victory over sin and habits if I daily turn to God and
don't give up. If I will just be determined and say with God's help
today for this moment I will not do this or that. Then if I do I must go
to God with it right away and start again. If I don't give up I will
win.
The King Who Wears Victory's Crown
Thank you Lord for all you do.
For daily helping me break through.
Sin and sorrow can't keep me down.
When I take them to my King who wears victory's crown.
Thank you for keeping me in perfect peace.
When I run to you all evils's clamber cease.
For all evil falls to the ground no it can't keep me down.
When I take them to my King who wears victory's crown.
Exercise
I have found there is no way around it, if you want to loose weight you
have to exercise. For a house wife, a mother or a working woman this sounds
like torture. I am just a house wife and when I think of exercise the first
thing I think is I am too tired. I get up early with my husband to fix
him breakfast. After he leaves for work I do my exercise. Before I exercise
though I have to talk my self into it. First I say I'm too tired. Then
I get side tracked as I clean up little messes on the way to the living
room to exercise. All during exercise I notices all my joints popping,
and all the little stiff and sore parts. When I am done though I feel a
little better and I noticed I really enjoy my shower! I have also found
that if I stop doing my aerobics tapes and say I will exercise by
working in the garden or taking a walk. I don't loose weight because I
get busy and don't walk or work in the garden. My spiritual life is like
that too. There is no way to loose sin or bad habits without some
sort of work out. First I confess, God forgives me, then you take action
by repenting. Repenting means to turn away from the sin or habit and stop
doing it. It is a work out, I have to identify the sin or habit. Then I
have to tell it to God. Then I have to ask His forgiveness. Then I listen
to what He tells me to do about it. Then I have to determine not to do
it again. Then I have to watch out for satan trying to trip me in that
area. I have to do this over and over again every day and sometimes for
the same sin or habit. If I give up or stop guess what? Just like
weight I wont loose the habit or sin. I also can't let the pain stop me
from what I must do, nor can I let distractions or laziness stop me either.
Each time I finish this spiritual work out I feel better and a little stronger.
And I find I really enjoy my shower (washing in the word) and (my time
of praising God). I also found if I try to get rid of my sins and
habits on my own it doesn't work because I can't do it.
Jesus said "With out me you can do nothing" The bible says I
can do all things through Christ who strengthen me. If we confess
our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us. Work out your salvation
with fear and trembling. The bible says we can have victory in Jesus.
