Romans 8:8
“So then they that are in the flesh cannot
please God.”
Oh what a shame to find ourselves living in
the flesh. How often in our busy, everyday life do we find ourselves living in
the flesh or rather living according to this world? In our modern society we
are under attack from all sides by the devil and his minions. For the most part
we are at our weakest point spiritually when we are out in the world. Whether
on the job or out with friends or at home watching television or listening to
the radio or maybe even reading a book or newspaper, we are under constant
attack from the enemy of God.
So how do we please God while in our
everyday life? In Ephesians 6:11 the Lord told us “Put on the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Read the
Word, pray constantly, sing unto the Lord in your mind, quote scripture to
yourself throughout the day. Keep your mind on things of God and not on things
of the world.
Praise the Lord, give God the glory for
everything, turn all your trials and temptations over to the Lord. As His
children we have a Comforter, the Holy Spirit of God, that lives within us. We
have free 24/7 access to the throne of God, our Heavenly Father, through Jesus
Christ, His Son, through prayer.
So pray daily that God will keep you from
the flesh so that you can rightly please Him. Also remember to pray for each
other as well. Our brothers and sisters in Christ need our prayers. They are
tempted and tried just as we are.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
