So often I find myself doing things that I shouldn't be, or doing something when I could be doing something else that has a better purpose or is more edifying. But a lot of the time don't do anything about it. A lot of times it's small things . . . the music I listen to, the games I play, the sites I visit. There's a song, "If I Were," by Andy Gullahorn, I and I believe it explains this problem quite thoroughly. We are all constantly struggling against our flesh and the powers of darkness. Satan will use anything he can to catch our attention and pull us into temptation and sin. Anything from the opposite sex to the amount of time spent on a game. I'm not sure if I've spoken about this on the blog yet, but I believe it all comes back to balance in Christ, and in the things around us. Let me put it this way: Jesus and God are perfect. We are supposed to reflect our Savior, Jesus. When something is perfect, I think it's safe to say it's also completely balanced. Therefore, if we strive to be more balanced in our own lives, perhaps we can gain a better understanding of perfection and become more like our Savior. I do not propose an immediate answer to the struggles we all face everyday. I don't have a cure, other than looking to our Savior and asking Him to guide us and strengthen us and perfect us, balance us. This post is more about exposing the fact that it is so easy to fall into sin and that even the things we think are harmless may not be as powerless as we think. A few verses to back this up: The heart is decietful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it?"
