It is incredibly amazing to me how God works. Yesterday’s blog message was about the dilemma of our flesh and how I step into a struggle before I remember to surrender it to the One and only Jesus Christ who has overcome temptation, sin and Satan himself. Today’s 90-day devotional speaks directly to this topic. The author speaks what we often don’t want to admit–sin can be, and usually is, temporarily enjoyable. Otherwise, we would have no problem leaving it behind. Sin has a way of enticing us into it even though we know better.

Each day, when we start it with Jesus in a time of worship and devotion, we can connect our spirit with His Holy Spirit. He will speak to us and give us direction. He doesn’t take away our sinful flesh, but He offers Himself and His conquering of sin as our way of escape. We can do this in His Power this day–today by surrendering, walking away and confessing the struggle to our trusted friend. Tomorrow, we will need to reconnect with Jesus and His Holy Spirit to have His Promise alive for the new day.

Our flesh is weak, we know this; but, His Promises are All-Powerful. God gave each of us the choice to choose Jesus as our Savior and then, as our Lord. If He is going to be our Lord in the present day, this needs our daily renewal. We choose this. I choose this day to have Jesus as my Savior and LORD!
