Thought 317
TV
I looked to TV for comfort; it was my drug,
my addiction. I could relax and forget about my troubles and problems. I zoned
everything out and essentially feed lustful thoughts, wrong choices, lies,
etc... and all with the “little, harmless” television screen. What a joke! I
got ‘high’ by certain scenes or TV shows. The same thing has happened with
video games. I knew it was wrong, God convicted me. Through the television I was being encouraged
to live the wrong life—just by what I ‘set before my eyes.’ Before I could
achieve total freedom, I had to “wean” myself to get off “the drug.”
What about you? Are you using something as a
drug that’s not a physical ‘drug’? The empowerment of the Holy Spirit is the
only way that you will truly conquer it, because without Him you are just using
your own weak “strength” and that stuff doesn’t go very far.
