Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh. (Romans 13:14)
Are you struggling with giving in to your sinful desires? The solution is to put on Jesus. Just like you put on your clothing in the morning, you need to put on Jesus. How do you do this? Start by praying to God right away. Ask Him to cover you and protect you and guide you. Open up the Bible and read it out loud. Meditate on verses. Communicate with God about the verses. Next, remove things in your life that make it easy to sin. For example, if you struggle with alcohol, remove it from your home and don’t go to places where it is. Don’t make it easy to give in to your sinful desires, by removing what triggers you to sin. ~ Jeff M Newman
