The unfortunate thing about this world is that good habits are so much easier to give up than bad ones. (W. Somerset Maugham, 20th century British playwright and writer)


We would probably agree with Maugham’s observation. Whatever our bad habits are, we often find it so difficult to give up those persistent unhealthy patterns of life. On the other hand, we can easily forget our good intentions to diet, exercise, study more, and so on. Maybe it takes a supernatural assist to overcome.


Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4).
