Galatians 6:8 “for he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the spirit will of the spirit reap everlasting life.”
If it was up to my flesh today I would call out of work lying to my boss with the high fever excuse to sleep in and then get ready for a good Friday night with people who also enjoy feeding there flesh with good music and strong alcohol.
If I continued to do this every Friday I would soon be making excuses for a couple other days this week, slowly creating a manifesting lifestyle of corruption. I don’t want to be a liar who makes excuses and lies for my own benefit, or a broke alcoholic who couldn’t hold a job or finish school, and have no real friends that don’t even know me on a sober day and that’s exactly where my flesh would have guided me.
But that’s not what I am doing today and not the lifestyle I have let manifest anymore. I chose to let my savior save me and not to ignore his voice any longer. Today I get up, with the understanding that there is purpose beyond my understanding and reason to live beyond this life.
I would rather be here devoting my life to letting god use adding more people to his kingdom then at a party wasting away drinking away my spirit. My flesh is going to die someday and nothing here on earth will matter but the souls who come with me. No life is worth the best flesh seeking party or good time.
Application: proverbs 3:7 “do not be wize in your own eyes; fear the lord and depart from evil”
When I have desires to turn around and go back to my old life style I need to cling fast to the truth and think about what I will be reaping later or what I will cause others to reap for me.
