I once dated a girl who was a lot like I was: neither of us wanted to break some of our bad habits. Have you ever thought of that? "Breaking bad habits." Often the terms we use really carry a lot of meaning. "Fooling around." Yep, it's foolish. "Getting wasted." Yep, it's a waste.
Unfortunately, we often tell ourselves that bad habits don't need to be broken, are too hard to break, or that we're not ready. Jesus, however, points out, "And he who falls on this stone [Jesus/the Word] will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust." (Mt 21:44)
We only have two options: break the bad habits or be scattered like dust! Let's start breaking the bad habits today, and put fooling around, getting wasted, and all the junk of the flesh in the past!
