The Source of Addiction – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1903 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget: Today’s quote is from Phil Ware, and it is, "Addiction is a God-hunger directed to the wrong source of soul satisfaction."

The Source of Addiction

If we are honest with ourselves, we all have addictions that are desires and cravings that only God can fulfill. Some addictions are much more socially acceptable, like overworking or over-exercising when you need to be investing time with your family and friends. These addictions may destroy those we love most if not kept in check. Other addictions, such as overeating, alcohol, drugs, or sex, will ruin you as a person and those who love you most. We all must recognize addictions and compulsive behaviors for what they truly are, a heart yearning to be fulfilled by God. If our faith and trust were entirely in God, we would be completely satisfied at all times and would not need to bury ourselves in addictions. God knows our weaknesses and is available to complete us, if we allow him to do so. He provided Jesus Christ for salvation, and once we understand that, we can gradually increase our faith until our addictions fall away and our fullness is in Christ. What do you need assistance with today to overcome? Ephesians 3:14-19 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
