I love zombie games. Unfortunately, I enjoyed them so much, they were keeping me from doing important things, such as writing this blog. After hours of wasted time and cramped thumbs, I decided to delete them from my iPad. For me, zombie games started consuming my life goals and ambitions like a zombie consumes human lives in the movies. I had to get rid of them. What about you? Are there activities, habits, or sins that are keeping you from your dreams? It could be that there is morally nothing wrong with that activity, except for the fact it’s eating your life away one bite at a time.
We sometimes need to take drastic actions to stop doing the things that keep us from living our best. This is especially true for ADHDers. So if God is dealing with you about an activity, try to see it as He does: as a nasty, disgusting corpse gnawing your hand off.
Matthew 5:30a NLT
And if your hand—even your stronger hand —causes you to sin,
cut it off and throw it away.
P.S. Jesus was using hyperbole to prove a point. I don’t think He was advocating self-dismemberment.
