Compulsive Behavior

"... time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain, therefore, awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters." (Plato in Courage to Change, 12 August)

The next time you choose some activity to meet some deeper need or stop some pain, ask yourself this question: Could this be taking the place of God in my life? Lord, help me not substitute my compulsive behavior for Your power in my life. (Ric Engram, Pace Yourself, 13 August)
