I'M A SLAVE

2 Peter 2:19
19 They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves to sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you. NLT
** What controls you? What is it in your life that whenever IT comes up, IT takes first place? I love to eat and it’s often hard to discern the difference between eating because I’m hungry or just because I love to eat. Whenever I’ve fasted in the past, I’ve noticed that after the 3rd day, that eating often times is just a habit or a thing to do because I have nothing else to do. I constantly battle with food trying to be my master. That is why I am constantly fasting some kind of food or liquid so I can keep my flesh in control and keep God as my master to guide me. Right now because of Aaron being in Teen Mania, I am fasting coffee for a year. As I look around me, I see many slaves in this world and the funny thing is, according to this scripture, they are slaves to those little silver boxes they carry around and keep close so they won’t miss on text message. We have become a nation of slaves…. But as the old song goes… “it might be the devil or it might be the Lord, but you’ve got to serve somebody.”
