Making No Provision

   With all of the daily distractions and opportunities, whether good or bad, that face may of us on a daily basis, there are alot of chances and ways that we can and do easily make provisions for the flesh daily. In case one does not understand, let me clarify what a provision of the flesh is. This is when we put ourselves or allow ourselves to stay in a situation or surrounding where our minds or hearts may wonder into the things of the flesh, that is our sinful nature, and actions are generally bound to follow closely. Here are some examples of HIGH SCHOOL provisions that you may not realize:

• Being alone with the opposite sex (rather Christian or not if you both are single)
• Making things being friends physical (rather opposite sex or not)
• Allowing yourself to be comfortable around ungodly actions and idea

Basically, anytime you put yourself in a situation where sin is likely, and this varies from person to person, you are making provisions. But as we grow in Christ we learn as Paul tells us to make no provision for the flesh, so we flee from the opportunity of sin, and run full speed to the Cross of Jesus, every time. Watch for those provisions in your life that you may not even know about.
