When is a good time to change? Well, the obvious answer is "NOW"! However, when we do decide to change a behavior, we tend to cut at the surface, not the real issue. We look at symptoms and not the cause. If a patient has pain due to cancer, Tylenol won't cure the cancer. It may stop the pain, but not the cause . . . cancer! Nothing changes.
If the Word of God is deeply rooted in our being, nothing else can be at the root! Simply searching for our bibles when we are in trouble or looking up a verse on our computer or phone will simply take away situation temporarily, like Tylenol. We need permanent change!
It starts with His Word. As we develop a daily routine of filling our lives with His Word, the issues of life seem to diminish. Our bad habits are erased. Our focus changes. Our life changes.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16)
