Mark 14: 38
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
I am reminded of the incident in the life of Esau and Jacob, when Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. Esau was so hungry that he gave up his heritage for something to please the flesh; his flesh was weak.
Jesus had fasted in the wilderness for 40 days, when the tempter came and tempted Him to turn stones into bread, but JESUS resisted the Devil and stood on the Word of GOD; "Man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that proceeds from the mouth of GOD." The flesh of JESUS was weak, but His Spirit was strong.
When we practice preventative prayer; not one time, but daily. When we focus on the LORD GOD and His Word, we are watching. I find that the time of quiet meditation PRAYER on the Word of the LORD builds strength in my spirit, so that I can resist the temptations of the flesh.
IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH
