I guess by now your January goal of weight loss, no smoking or whatever has gone by the way side. Here is the reason. Intolerance of our present situation creates our future. Until we hate being fat more than we like chocolate cake, there will be no change in our scale numbers.
Until our despair about smoking is stronger than our nicotine fix, we will smoke. I could go on but you get the idea. When pleasing Jesus is our main goal, we can win the battle and the war.

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. (Philippians 3:13-15, KJV)
