this story is about dying to self...dave cant die to the idea of the habit of controlling self.
he's sees himself "outside" of himself being bathed in Gods light of his sovereign will until daves body "craves" the nicotine habit (any habit really).
dave then steps into himself to control and feeds his need to "control his temptation" by giving in .
its an exercise of futility and identifying his lack of control in the end.
like the song "you might die trying"...
dave cant die to the" idea" of self controling self.
but he can observe and learn what is "good" and what is "bad" to self.
people cant stop temptations..only God can and we just observe it happening afterwards. we dont stop ourselves..its an illusion. all we can do is hope that our lives "turns out good" and the temptation ends.
and the rain falls down...
we live by grace and not of ourselves. its a gift from above
