been a long day, looking forward to the weekend where i can just relax at church and think of nothing but God (which i should be doing at all times but keep on getting distracted by studies and work >.<) i have to push myself some more because i know that i am stronger then what i currently am, and i can go much further with what i currently have. no excuses on my part, need to discipline myself even more! it's funny how i always seem to be more on fire or alert at night than in the morning.. i guess its because at night i can reflect and look back to the day and what i did, whereas in the morning when i look back all i think about is sleep..hahas..
eph 2:3
3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
was reading this verse again, and was reminded of the fact that we often sin not only by fulfilling the desires of the flesh, but also of the mind.. The mind im guessing basically controls what we think, also would explain why many times we sin just by having unclean thoughts. But then again, you can't really control what you think can you? i mean it's usually what first comes to your mind, and i don't think you can choose what your mind thinks..isn't more like instinct? I get the most random thoughts at the most random times of the day, sometimes i dont even know how my mind operates haha.. But we know that our mind is corrupt by nature, and so what we think isnt neccesary always right. We can sin just by thinking! Gotta constantly pray for a renewal of the mind, that it will be filled with godly thoughts, and not the things of this world.. I always have to keep watch of what im thinking! In the end it's still spirit over mind and body!
