The Spirit is Willing, But

Scripture: Matthew 26: [41] “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Observation: So many times I have good intentions in doing the right thing, but my laziness takes over and I end up doing nothing. The temptation of taking the easy way out wins and more wasted time is added and my time draws near to an end.

Application: Once I have a plan of doing something good I need to pray and ask God for strength to complete it. I need to remove any obstacle from the path of completing the mission God has in store for me and ask God to strengthen the spirit within me.

Prayer: Dear Lord be my strength and guide me to the completion of the task you set before me. Use the talents you have given me that I may honor you this day.
