Recognizing your flaws
Proverbs 10:16- The earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin.
Do your earnings enhance your life? Usually ours does but often times I go over my bi-weekly budget and find myself frustrated for failing in this area. I believe I have been enlightened on why this is happening. You see, I set aside money each pay cycle that I am to use for purchasing little simple pleasures for my family. However, more often than I care to admit, this money is used on my ‘sin’. Lately, my sin is laziness and gluttony. If I am too lazy to cook, I order out. If I enjoy the food, I may eat the same thing 3 days in a row. This pattern takes me over our money designated for food. In order to maintain I end up using the money God gave us to “enhance our lives” on my silly sin. All this time, I thought I should eat out if I wanted to. This is an arrogant and undisciplined way of thinking.
So, are there areas of your life that need a little more discipline? Sin is sin, not big or little to God. Just sin.
I hope this will help me to be a better steward of my blessings, turn up my spiritual sensitivity to place me in a lifestyle of discipline and help me turn my back on laziness, gluttony & undisciplined living.
Indebted to Christ,
