The flesh never seems to want to surrender. And it always tries to wiggle out of obedience. A lot like kids huh?…LOL.

“For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.” (Gal. 5:17 HCSB)

But I know from experience that God’s calling answered brings far more rewards than doing my own thing. I find it easier to want to talk myself out of doing hard things now than when I was in my teens and twenties, and even into my thirties–even though I know I truly cannot do more for my heavenly Father than he has and will do for me. So it’s not even true that we are more “comfortable” doing what we think we want to do than we will ultimately be doing what God wants us to do. Even if we were to lose our very lives doing the will of the Father, how much more have we now and will we have in the future? It’s a win/win–and yet the flesh argues. Go figure. Kind of like raising kids actually. 🙂
