quiet time

terrific promise from the bible :

God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. -1 Corinthians 10:13

i have often felt at the beginning of temptation to escape or be impulsive that i had another option. Eg, checking in here.

another inspirational one to me :

So, whether you eat or drink, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. -1 Corinthians 10:31

and :

I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved. -1 Corinthians 10:33

and :

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we many not be condemned along with the world. -1 Corinthians 11:32

i feel like this is what's happening to me. God sends ( or allows ) bad things, as a result of my procrastination / addictive personality that force me to conclude that i must depend on him, not myself.

remember, i ASKED God to do whatever was necessary to make me always depend on him. He has promised in his word that he will do this, so i know he will. And i can presume that my life right now is part of that process.
