Control
"If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to
be thrown into hell." Matthew 5:29 (NIV)
It is always harder to break a habit, than to continue on in one. As the Games (Crossfit Games) approaches, I am glad that I took the time to create a habit of working out and working hard every day. I have seen myself grow stronger each day and I am hitting new records almost every week.
I have not only been working on improving myself physically, but also mentally and spiritually. As a man, I understand the difficulty of controlling one's mind. It is a process, but it is also very possible. The first successful step that I took towards controlling my thoughts was to turn to God and have Him renew me and give me the strength and ability to do so. I'm not perfect and on occasion a wrong thought pops into my head, but because I have worked on creating a habit of purging it, I have been able to very quickly get rid of them. If you are struggling in this area, my advice would be to watch what you see, what you hear, and where you go; and most importantly, rely on God to sustain you.
