I will not suppress my conscience. Last week, when I went for badminton, already there was this niggling feeling. I had so much work incomplete and I went for badminton. Sure, I postponed the group meeting on the next day. But there was plenty more left to do. I reflected, and I realised the state that I was in. I was not ready to give up badminton. Reason? It was my only entertainment for the week. Why should I give it up? I know God is jealously looking at that. A test, to see if I would give it up. Surely not that? I should have seen this day coming. I remembered that this is a lesson learnt before, except in another form. Not to carry a self-centered attitude into entertainment, because it is a great breeding ground for sin. Watching soccer matches, soccer videos, com games +++. I have wrestled free from those. Tomorrow, is another chance for me to learn the lesson again. I am swarmed with work. As I type now, I remember pastor saying that the choices which sinners make are always illogical. And I remember one of the 7 characteristics mentioned today is self-control. And we are to pursue it with much haste. Much diligence.
Can the decision for tomorrow be any more obvious?
Thank you God for this grace of changing my heart. This sanctifying work which You are doing in me. I recall the prayers made with BASICs over the past week and certainly, this is an answer. I know there are other sins which I must continue to wrestle with also. This thing I ask, let nothing between.
