“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13).
Yesterday we spoke about addictions, and how that it is important not to be brought under the power of wrong things in our lives. But what if this has already happened? Is there no way to get rid of a bad habit? I remember a girl who used to come to our Sunday school, and she was already addicted to cigarettes. She was about fifteen years old, and she could hardly sit through Sunday school because she had such a craving for another cigarette.
Often, we cannot change or get rid of bad habits in our own strength, but if we know the Lord Jesus as our Savior, we can go to Him and ask Him to help us stop that bad habit. Paul knew that he could do all things, if he was depending on the Lord’s strength, and not on his own. I have known several people who were able to stop bad habits, because they accepted the Lord Jesus as their Savior, and then asked the Lord to take away the desire for those bad things. It is not always easy, and Satan may continue to tempt us, even as Christians, but if we look to the Lord, He will help us to overcome a bad habit.
