Get Out of My Mindنموونە

You may have noticed something about you now is much different than when you were a little kid. Before you were just living life. Now, you’re aware of the growing number of decisions you get to make. With that awareness also comes an awareness of a pull between what you-your-spirit-wants (wise decisions that honor God), and what you—your human nature—wants (unwise decisions). When they don’t quite agree, giving in to temptation becomes the easy choice if we’ve let our guard down or live disconnected from God. We can start to rely on our gut impulses instead of the wiser decision-making skills that come from being connected to God. Luckily, we are aren’t left to figure it out on our own. Matthew tells us to keep watch, stay aware, and pray; connect to God regularly, and we will be able to resist temptation.
