Don't eat your vomit!

S - Scripture
Proverbs 26 v.11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool that repeats his folly.

O - Observation
What a great description of how the stranglehold of sin can be in our lives. We become numb to it and simply don't know any better or see anything better. It's the drug addiction, the porn addiction, the addiction to gossip, ect. How do we quit eating our vomit? We need to work to become Holy. Webster's definition of Holy is, "Set apart for religious purpose." God tells us to be Holy. Leviticus 11 v. 44a, "For I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves therefore, and BE HOLY, for I am Holy." God made us to worship, we are built in his image, we need to set us apart from the world. We need to be defined by love and a commitment to God's teachings. Hebrews 6 v. 12, "So that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those through faith and patience inherit the promises."
 
A - Application
Am I working to be Holy or set aside, or am I eating my own Vomit?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Encourage me, strengthen me, guide me to be separate from the world. Love Will.
