13For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” 15But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.
The devil made me do it. This phrase was made popular by an actor. The devil can't make you do anything. He can only entice you.
But your flesh can control you it you allow it.
The battle of the flesh and Spirit is constant, which one wins is up to you.
Will you try to walk in the Spirit today? Will you love your neighbor as yourself?
When you catch the flesh taking over, pray! And continue to pray until the Spirit gains control!
Holy Spirit help us control our fleshly desires and fill us with the love of Christ.
Blessings, David
