Are we truly listening to God and understanding our true purpose in life? If we say we are fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ then how can we decide to follow our flesh? How do we not give or help people every time we have the chance? God’s word is so powerful when we open it and use it to transform our lives. It is one thing to say we are Christians but it is another to live like we are Christians. The struggle with this world will always be there that’s why it is so important to talk to God daily and open His word and live it.
James says in chapter 2 verse 10; “For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws.”
Fight flesh by filling your heart with God using what Jesus did to guide you everyday. We need to also listen to the Holy Spirit and continue to grow everyday. I really like James chapter 4 verse 8 which says; “Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.”
Put all your trust in God and saturate your heart with His word. Then when you are about to do something or act on something you listen to your heart because you have filled it with good. Jesus came and gave us the perfect example, learn and follow and be thankful for everything. Amen
