To have no confidence in the flesh means we will not build our
confidence on our senses and all that can come from the senses. It doesn't mean
that we despise it, but we're not building our confidence on it. It is a ticket
to failure in life to be sense-ruled. The danger of having confidence in the
flesh is that your operations and interactions with life will only end at the
level of your soul, and the devil can interfere with that realm.
There are situations that if you rely on human senses alone, you won’t
come out of them. There are decisions you cannot make and be accurate with the
human senses alone. You will get to a juncture in life that you will need more
than the five senses to make it. That was exactly what Apostle Paul was saying;
that we are not going to base our judgments in life just on the senses.
What is the key point here? We must strive to do everything possible in
life to develop our spirit. If you don't plan to develop your spirit, you'll be
a candidate for deception in this world. The devil is going to cheat you; he’s
going to rob you, and he can actually hurt you. Developing your spirit will
come with a price; you will have to submit what is important in the world and
what is respected among men so as to learn what is important in God.
PRAYER: LORD, I
pray that You will help me to pay the price of developing my spirit. Amen!
