I wish knowing right and doing right were simultaneously equal in my thoughts and in my actions. Sometimes I feel like I know the right thing to do just so I can sit in judgment of me for not doing it.
I did have a blinding flash of the obvious this morning that helps bring my thoughts to heel; i.e., what if, when Jesus said, "Get thee behind me, Satan," he was referring to his own thoughts, his own reasoning mind? So, no matter who it appears is suggesting what, it's our own reasoning mind that makes the choice.
Shades of "The devil made me do it."
Thank You.
