Romans 8:5
“Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.”
Understanding this passage
Paul locates the battle in what the mind is set on. The Spirit aims your attention at a different desire.
Why this verse helps
Temptation starts in a set mind. This verse invites you to point your thoughts toward what the Spirit wants.
A prayer for you
Holy Spirit, set my mind on what You desire, not on what the flesh wants. Amen.
