From devotion this morning:
So often we try to defeat the temptation of sin by simply trying really hard not to sin. This strategy almost never works in the long run and inevitably leaves us discouraged because it keeps our mind focused on the sin. When we do this we continue to fall into the same ruts and patterns of our past. It is only when we “crucify the flesh” by focusing our attention on the Spirit, that we can walk in the freedom for which Jesus died. It is only when we replace the desires of our flesh with a relentless attention to the Spirit of God, that we can experience the victory over sin and ultimately walk in the freedom that comes from following Jesus.
Where are you focusing?
