No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.
1Corinthians 10:13 ESV
The daily fight… flesh vs Spirit… it’s common to us all…
But Jesus… He showed us the Way… to battle the flesh in the Spirit…
“… Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mark 14:38 ESV
Watch… be on guard… guard against laziness… forgetfulness of the enemy lurking…
Pray… pray continually He says… pray in the Spirit… pray to not be led into temptation…
Every morning… He started with prayer…
And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.
Mark 1:35 ESV
The battle very real… but He shows us the Way…
Watch…
Pray…
The one… two… punch… needed to face the daily battle…
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
Ephesians 6:18 NLT
