We are wired to move toward pleasure and away from pain. We parent our souls well when we give ourselves reward for doing well and a negative consequence when we behave badly. It takes effort and planning, but if our brains and bodies are trained properly, they will serve us well.

The Power of a Promise
Dr Paul Looney • Matthew 26:29
At the last meal with his closest friends, Jesus makes a commitment that is sorely tested. He leads the way in showing all of us the power of a promise. If we are ever tempted to give in to an addiction or let ourselves off the hook, Jesus shows us how to endure suffering and hold on to sobriety, engaging fully the power of a promise.
