My sinful nature gets me nowhere but in trouble fast. When I gave my heart and life to Jesus it was with the understanding that I would live a Spirit-filled and Spirit-controlled life. It is my privileged commitment to follow Jesus Christ. He gave His Life freely, willingly without resentment. This is the example that we are to follow. I was praying about the high-strung emotions that I have had lately with all we have been going through with our son. I have battled anger, resentment and hostility focusing it on the cancer. There are many messengers along the way that were ripe for shooting if you know what I mean. I want the Holy Spirit to control my mind because it leads to life and peace. I must be the one to keep my emotions and feelings subjected to His Spirit at all times. When I allow any emotion to control me, my sinful nature steps right back in. How can we learn to anger and sin not? We have to go straight to our example. He is our only hope for success or we will remain subject to emotional sabotage that leads to bondage.
