I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. (Romans 7:15)
C.S. Lewis once said that Satan wants for us to look back on our day and see ‘we neither did what God had called us to do, nor what we wanted to do’. God has a plan for our lives, but He has given us free will. We have the choice to do what we know is within His will, or to do that which our flesh desires. The gratification of fulfilling our fleshly desires is fleeting, but when we act within God’s will; our rewards are eternal.
