The other day, I fell back into old habits. I spent too much time scrolling social media and snacked on “healthy” candy like it was fruit. Once I realized what I was doing, I reached out to Jesus. After praying, I saw how my eyes were not fixed on Jesus. I got distracted and noticed I picked up my phone as soon as I felt bored.
1 Chronicles 16:11 is, “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!”
Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001
I need to seek God continuously. My habit is to wake up with His Word, but my spirit craves more. I need Jesus when I am bored, irritable, or upset. Throughout the day, I must seek Him instead of scrolling endlessly. The Lord satisfies me better than excess food or unlimited screen time.
