Matthew 26:41 NLT “Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”

Have you ever been so tempted to walk into a trap and felt you could not resist? I have. It’s not a fun place to be. It can even have dire consequences. So, why do we do it? Well, sometimes it’s simply rebellion. Other times it’s because the body is weak. Something called sin has its way with us at times. (Romans 5:12)
Galatians 5:17 LEB “For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, for these are in opposition to one another, so that whatever you want, you may not do these things.”
Sometimes we cannot do all the good we desire to do. (Romans 7:15-17) Sin wins battles and it hurts us. Doing what is good is the aim, right? But let’s be honest, there are times it goes undone:
Ecclesiastes 7:20 “There is certainly no one righteous on the earth who does good and never sins.”
Thank God for Jesus’ sacrifice and His blood for the forgiveness of sins. (1 John 1:7-10)
