Grace for your spirit
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. Romans 13:14
When we put on Christ, we take on being a new man of the Spirit. Part of the new man requires that we lay aside our old man of the flesh. Too many times, we take off the old man, put let that man hang around, just in case we want him back. That is making a provision for the flesh. If we make a commitment to completely give us chocolate cake, would it make any sense to always have a big chocolate cake in our house? Would we have chocolate cake recipes on the refrigerator? Would we hang around with friends who always ate chocolate cake for every meal? If we did those things, our commitment to stay away from chocolate cake would be in deep trouble. When we make a commitment to leave the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life, let's identify our weaknesses, and make NO provision for them. God's grace will provide the rest.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
