You know you shouldn't watch that movie.
You know you shouldn't dwell on those thoughts.
You know you shouldn't listen to that song.
You know you shouldn't daydream so long.
You know you shouldn't go to that website.
You know you shouldn't look twice at that handsome man {I repeat: Don't.make.eye contact.}
You know you shouldn't post that on Facebook or hit "like" on that status.
You know you shouldn't send that email.
You know you shouldn't drink that.
You know you shouldn't lose your temper.
You know you shouldn't abandon your beliefs to "fit in".
Time and again you shouldn't, but answering the flesh you did.
"And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." Galatians 5:24
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak....
ReplyDeleteSometimes one of the hardest things ever is to walk away or not do something that you know you shouldn't do.
Fighting the flesh daily is a job in itself but when we win that battle, God rejoices in us being able to overcome.
~Blessings~
Martina took the words right out of my mouth! It's crazy how weak the flesh is. Great post Patrice!
