Trapped

An addiction is anything more than drugs and alcohol. Those are just symptoms of a much greater concern.  First off, you are trapped in a line of thinking that keeps you from realizing that you are ultimately in full control of your life. Secondly, you are blinded from seeing the potential in yourself. And thirdly, you are tricked into believing that there is nothing better than what you are trapped in.

But there is a fourth aspect to any addiction, that is the sin we are committing against God.  You see every addiction is the result of a battle of "Spirits & Principalities".  We are only pawns being used to get to God. It's really not our fight but we let be ours and take it very personally.  We can trap our self or be trapped by other people who do NOT have our best interests at heart.

1 Kings 8:50 And forgive your people, who have sinned against you; forgive all the offenses they have committed against you, and cause their captors to show them mercy;

Once we realize that we are being used by the evil one, then that addiction becomes a stupid waste of time and we are no longer trapped.

Why not start some new good clean habits today?
