Dare:
End it now. Identify every object of lust in my life and remove it. Single out every lie I've swallowed in pursuing forbidden pleasure and reject it.
I read today's title and immediately thought of, well, you know what the word lust conjures up. At first I thought, okay, not a problem, but, whoa, this is a big thing. I know I lust for things. When I'm depressed I want to spend money. It's an automatic reaction. I'm going to spend some time really praying for God to reveal to me the other things I lust so I can reject them.
Results:
God has the best sense of humor ever. Yesterday I wrote that I'm giving up Bejeweled Blitz because it occupies too much of my time. Well yesterday I was notified that I received 1,000,000 points in the weekly drawing. Points can be used to buy bonuses during the game and, yes, it's a whopping amount of points. Now these points are going to sit there wasted, always tempting me. Hmmm, maybe it was Satan that arranged for the points. Either way, I am determined that I will keep that dare and not go near Bejeweled Blitz.
I'm continuing to pray about things I lust after. This will probably be an ongoing thing. I'm going to pray that God continues to reveal to me when something I'm thinking about or am about to do is to satisfy my lust and to help direct back to my true love, my husband.
