Title: Battles Every Day
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. – Gal.5:16
Every day, we battle our flesh. A battle that rages daily without ceasing will wear you down. Often, we correlate this battle with sexual sin, and rightly so. Sexual immorality steals like no other sin can. However, we can “flesh out” in many ways. Excessive eating and drinking, idleness, anger, discouragement, greed, and pride are just a few of the other fleshly thieves we must be wary of. “Be sober, be vigilant; your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 reminds us of both our adversary and what he is seeking. Satan is the original terrorist. You will lose the occasional battle, but there is Good News. God is on our side, and when we invite Him into battle with prayer and meditation, the ultimate victory in the war is ours.
