Our Flesh will try to Control Us!
How many times have you stopped to see what’s going on inside of you, because you just don’t feel right. Our flesh will try to control us if we don’t say enough is enough. One thing I know about myself is I want allow my flesh to control me or make me give into peer pressure around me.
The outcome is never worth it. When we give in to it, all chaos hits and confusion sits in. All this happens because life got hard and instead of praying and asking for guidance we say I can do this all by myself and don’t need anyone or anything else. Rebellion is our enemy, but our flesh doesn’t see it that way and wants to make it a friend, because rebellion agrees and says yes let’s do that. That’s when we miss up and do what will hurt us or get us into trouble(today or in the future). Don’t take the hard road of life.
We always have a choice, Good or Bad. It’s like having a devil on one shoulder and a angel on the other. They both are telling you to do or go, but you have to make the choice what will you do?
My prayer for us all is that we will go and do what’s right and not harmful to us or anyone. The sad thing is most times people listen to the devil and believe his lies
When we should be making good choices to make our lives and our families lives better. We tend to get like it’s my life and want hurt anyone else, but that’s a lie! Our actions affect everyone around us, family, children, spouse, friends, job… the list goes on and on. You know that enemy whispering in our ear all the bad things to do, even if our flesh thinks they are fun things leads us into dark places in our life that we try to come back from but it’s too late.
Let’s stop and think before we act. Are we ready to live life to the fullest in enjoying our journey or are we going to go into survival mode trying to figure out what happen and why I allowed myself to do the things that hurt me and my family…
It’s a Choice and we have to choose which way to go
Will we choose life and a Full life filled with people we love? or
Will we choose to make decisions from a place that takes us down bad roads of life and away from the ones who love us?
I want you to know You are Loved and their is a perfect plan for your life, but it’s up to you to decide if you want to live for yourself or for your future generations that are hoping you make good choices so they can live and not struggle their whole lives.
In John 3:16 of the Bible it says –
For God so Loved the World that He gave His Only begotten Son that Whosoever Believe in Him Should Not Perish but have Everlasting Life.
We are Whosoever and every sin or bad thing we have gave to Jesus, who laid His life on the Cross for our sins so we can have the choice to choose Good or Bad.
Let today be the day we decide to give our life totally over to Good and let Jesus into our life and let a new life begin forgetting all the old but going forward doing the life we know is good. (On a bad day just say I’m sorry I missed up today Jesus Forgive Me)
I agree with you. Our choices matter. And in a sense, our flesh is trying to destroy us. That is the consequence of the fall. You make an interesting statement about rebellion making us mess up, then said “Don’t take the hard road of life.” Which is the hard road? Giving in to the sin that so easily ensnares us, or doing what is right despite the cost?
Hello Jesse, Thank you for your comments. Great questions, I believe that giving into sin is the hard road because it will lead you to hell. No one likes to think about the consequences of our actions but after all is gone it’s Heaven or Hell. So it’s a easy answer for me, I want Heaven to be my final home so everything the world sees as a cost is me trusting and believing God will take care of me and lead me through life.
