Decisions

For most decisions made in life, we already know the answer. The problem is we choose to accept the punishment even when it’s not a favorable outcome. As a child I loved birthday cake! One year my antsy cake fixation got the best of me. Despite many warnings of “don’t touch the cake” and the known wrath of mom’s belt, I decided to take a pinch of cake anyway. One sample turned into two deep finger craters deep into the vanilla cake. Whatever the situation, we are often faced with a Dilemma. The flesh desires what it is contrary to the spirit (Gal. 5:17). The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful (Heb. 12:11). Whatever the situation, Repent! Don’t let your desires be your downfall to salvation.
