"Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address."
I came across this quote recently and it struck me how our flesh can be so clever. When old habits continually knock on our door we need to step back and find out the "root" cause. David penned the following, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." [Psalm 139:23]
The only way to deal with the flesh is to kill it and if there is still pain there, then it isn't dead.
Today's prayer: "God, search my heart. Expose the deepest parts. Bring to the surface anything lurking there that needs to die. For only in dying to my flesh will I truly live."
