The battle of the spirit and the flesh
I had a friend on facebook post this scripture on my status the other day and it's a powerful piece of scripture and one that I think could really help me. However, with my temptation, I find it very hard to say no. I don't know why. It's like, I think it was Peter or Paul said, I know the things I should do, but I don't do them, and I know the things I shouldn't do and that's what I find myself doing. I don't want to do this, but I feel it has such a grip on me that my flesh wins out most of the time. I'm not sure what the way out is. Is it asking God to help? Sometimes, and I hate to say this, but it doesn't always work. Sure, it may help for a little while, but later I have the same temptation coming back at me. So, it's got to be me right, cause God is almighty. His power is sufficient for me. So, then, am i subconsciously rejecting his power? Or am I just not trying hard enough?
