What’s the engine that drives our Flesh? Pride.
Ever since Adam and Eve chose to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil instead of trusting the Lord, mankind has sought to rely on Self to discern Good from Evil.
Pride says, “I want what I want, when I want it….NOW!”
What criteria do we use to measure what’s good for us?
It’s usually something like:
- “Does it make me happy?”
- “Does it satisfy my craving?”
- “Does it preserve my sense of self?”
The Flesh does not consider:
- “What are the long-term consequences of choosing this?”
- “How will this impact others, especially my loved ones?”
In this week’s Exchanged Life Nugget of Truth, I address how the Flesh is driven by Pride to decide for Self what’s good and the inevitable result.
I hope it challenges you and that you’ll share it with your friends.
Blessings!
