The enemy has a way of making us believe that we deserve certain things for whatever reason but then when we give into that desire we feel the weight of the sin that we just committed. When we focus on what Jesus wants instead of what our flesh wants we can overpower the flesh and live in harmony with God. There are certain things that may be a weakness to us and in those situations you may have to use wisdom and remove yourself from those situations altogether. God gives us the power and ability to overcome addiction and temptations, but we must lean into Him in order to overcome as we cannot do it on our own strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDo not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.\u201d &nbsp;-Ludwig Von Mises<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe cannot kill flesh with flesh: no amount of willpower can take the place of the Holy Spirit.\u201d &nbsp;-Corey Russell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dad Joke of the Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I finally know why they call me a grown up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I groan every time I get up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a great Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning!
