Truth: Through God's Power We Can Overcome
Remember that the Armor of God includes the belt of truth? All of the armor is important, but I have a special appreciation for the belt of truth. Without the truth, I become totally unmotivated. Without truth, I am deceived and walking down the wrong path.
The biggest lie Satan will try to tell you is that you cannot be successful in overcoming unhealthy habits. After years and years of struggling to get rid of junk food addition, wouldn't this be tempting to believe? We must not believe this lie. We can overcome unhealthy habits with God's power. We can overcome any sin in our lives through God's power.
We are called to live as children of light. Would God call us to live as His children if it were not possible?
"Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30 (NIV)
We grieve the Holy Spirit if we believe it when Satan tells us we cannot live a holy life. The truth is that through God's power, we can overcome.
