“We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.” -Ralph
Waldo Emerson
I’ve heard it put that everyone each has two ‘spiritual’ dogs: When
you feed the good dog, he grows stronger; but when you feed the bad dog, he
grows stronger. It's human nature to gravitate towards the latter, but it
takes us starving the carnal creature every day to wholeheartedly submit our lives to Christ.
Keep watch and
pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing,
but the body is weak!” (Matthew
26:41, NLT)
