MIDWEEK MEDITATION

Whoever trusts his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.  Proverbs 28:26
 
The heart is deceitful… Jeremiah 17:9

Addiction comes in many forms. We are surrounded by it, tempted by it, and suffer because of it. The compulsive need to return to the addiction fights against our better judgment and lulls us into thinking that we will find happiness, or at least relief. 
 
It is a lie. 
 
Our hearts can fall in love with destructive things and our minds can trick us into believing what is false. When our losses pile up and our pain increases, we are tempted to think that we need to fix it on our own, believing in our own strength to set things right. 
 
Our mind, our heart, our strength. 
 
Only a fool trusts solely in their own mind. We need wisdom from above and support from around us. 
 
Meditate on this question: Who knows and speaks into the difficult places of my life?
