They say you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make
him drink. But horses get thirsty, and if that water looks good, that horse is
going to drink.
You can’t quit your pet sin for long by sheer willpower, especially when your will hasn’t been changed. You still want the thing. But that changes when you see Jesus as the more beautiful thing. You fight affections with affections. It’s hard to get a bone out of a dog’s mouth. But that dog will let go of that bone if you give it a steak.
You need to exercise your faith. Jesus said the wells of this world can never fully satisfy your thirst. But he can. So, you need to be around preaching, teaching, and singing that treats Jesus like he is more beautiful and satisfying than anything else. And be with people who live like that’s true.
