Proverbs 9:6   Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight.”

So often when we hold on to bad habits we do so out of selfish and childish motives. We want to have our way and stubbornly hold on to our old way of living life even if it is harmful to us. We find ourselves stomping our feet and whining, “But, I don’t want to change. I want what I want!”

As God transforms our thinking we are able to have insight into our selfishness. We realize that if we want to see the right results we must change our attitude and behavior.

We must ask God to change our thoughts, our feelings, and our attitudes. Only then will we be able to give up our childish ways and embrace the new ways and habits that will lead us to life.

Lord, help us to have a mature attitude about our habits and lifestyle that we may be faithful to you. Amen.
