Yesterday I stopped by Firehouse Subs and picked up my free birthday sub! Gary was working at Rachel's house and she was fixing supper for him. I unwrapped my sub with the intentions of eating only 1/2 of the sandwich. I am trying to be conscious of portion control.
This is where things started getting strange. As soon as I made the decision to go for 1/2 of it; a part of me started to rebel--big time. The Bible says we have two spirits at war within us; I feel like I have at least three. I think my flesh is divided into two parts. When one part of me heard that the other part was going to try and show some discipline that is when the battle began.
You already know the outcome-I ate the whole sub. It wasn't much of a battle; I caved in easily.
During my devotion time this morning I started thinking how my intentions don't align with my actions a lot of the time. Why didn't I pray about the sub? The Lord wants us to come to Him with ALL things--no matter the size. The more we feed our selfish desires, that part of us grows stronger.
Today I'm going to claim God's grace in every area--(don't tell the other side)!
