When I was in high school, smoking cigarettes was a
habit so many male students enjoyed. This
habit was also becoming trendy for young women. I became convicted about this
habit when I was asked to teach a Sunday School class for young boys at the Baptist
church I attended during my military service.
It became
clear to me that cigarette addiction was incompatible with being a role model
for young students and with my commitment to Jesus Christ. God’s consistent
nudging enabled me to stay faithful to my choice, which also served as a bridge
to a clear conscience. Deliverance from any addiction gives witness to the
power of Christ to break a strong bondage.
Is a
bondage like anger or lingering grief holding you hostage? Self-pity is a
deterrent to experiencing hope for a bright future. The Holy Spirit will help you
hope for what you have not yet achieved and at the same time give you courage that
serves as a bridge for reaching what you will achieve by the power of Christ in
you.
