Romans 13:14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill it's lusts.
This verse is deep.
A lot of us put on Jesus but we have a lot going on in the background.
We have back plans for our back up plans.
We try to act nobler than we are.
But this verse puts it into perspective.
Making provision for the flesh will most likely lead to fulfilling it, i.e. sinning.
But also show the lack of maturity in our commitment to Christ.
Why do I need a back up plan when Jesus is my provision?
Why do I date unsaved guys?
why do I compare myself with others that i know aren't on the right track?
why do I allow myself to believe biblical principles are just suggestions?
Why do I allow myself to be so heavily influenced by the world?
It seems that I put on Jesus and a little of the world.
And over time it becomes that I put on the world and a little bit of Jesus.
You cannot make plans to fulfill the flesh and succeed in overcoming it.
Examine your motives.
Understand why you do what you do.
If the flesh isn't' fed it starves and dies.
But daily provision keeps the flesh alive and kicking.
