"What will you get up for?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

Imagine with me a couch potato stretched out on the sofa, watching TV. Well, not really watching TV, more like flipping through 150 channels and complaining because there’s nothing on. There are grip marks on the remote because of its constant use.

And due to the constant use, the remote control’s batteries go dead. That’s right, the couch potato is on the sofa, remote in hand, and the batteries are dead. The solution may be obvious to you—get up and replace the batteries.

But what if the couch potato is such an extreme couch potato that the thought of getting up is just too much? So the couch potato just lies there, not moving to replace the batteries, watching the same channel all day long.

Extreme case? Maybe, maybe not. How many times a day do you choose the same channel of a bad habit rather than getting up and replacing it?

God created you with a great gift inside—the gift of choice. So get up and choose wisely as you listen to life and make a life today.
