Putting to Death the Flesh

Scripture: Romans 8:13 - "For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live."

Reflection: The battle between the flesh and the Spirit is ongoing. We are called to actively put to death the deeds of the flesh by the power of the Spirit. This requires intentional choices to reject sin and embrace righteousness.

Prayer: Lord, I confess that I struggle with my fleshly desires. Empower me by Your Spirit to overcome these temptations and to live a life that is pleasing to You. Help me to choose Your ways over my own. Amen.

Action: Identify one area of your life where the flesh has been winning. Make a conscious decision to surrender this area to the Holy Spirit and take practical steps to change.
