Have you ever had an addiction? Not drugs, but something that kept you away from God? Or does it still keep you away from God?

I have. Whether it's the computer or something else, we all have one, believe it or not. Say it's something that isn't that bad, to something that you can't tell ANYONE. And you mean nobody. Something only you and God know about. Even if it isn't that bad, should you be doing it? Is it something that has scarred you forever, or is eating at you slowly right now? And do you feel guilty for doing this, for hours, when you could be spending time with God?

I had this problem. And today I made a decision that was long in coming. I mean, I'm not saying what it was. It could be lame, it could be bad. Anyway, I was tired of doing it I took control.

Exodus 15:6:

"Your right hand, O LORD,
       was majestic in power.
       Your right hand, O LORD,
       shattered the enemy."

In this case, His right hand shattered my enemy.

I grabbed that thing and I smashed it. I took it apart, and I threw it away.

Matthew 5:29-30.

"If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.                              It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.                                                                                                              And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."

What is that thing that's keeping you from God? Are you ready to take a big step, and get rid of it?

Thanks for posting this! The other night I asked God to help me with something like this, and last night the worship leader at our church said that we all had something, something that was keeping us from a closer relationship with God.

I am praying for you, will you pray for me?
