Have you ever been tempted? Wait, what am I saying of course we have been tempted. Everyone has been tempted in their life. It comes with being in a sinful world. So, what do we do when we feel tempted? Jesus warns us against the "yeast" of the Pharisees and of Herod. Yeast was a common metaphor for evil tendency that seem small, nevertheless can destroy the whole person. When Jesus told the disciples this they did not understand. They got caught up with the physical that they could not see the spiritual side. There is nothing wrong with physical things themselves. Just, there is more than the physical temptations. You may have to humble yourself. God wants you to do anything you can to free yourself form these snares. Without self-discipline, we can easily become lazy. I know being in school, it can be easy to say, "Well, not really in the mood I will do it later. I will just go and watch YouTube for next five hours". Yes, it is important to relax from time to time but we need to be careful not to waste our time on unproductive things. I struggle with phone discipline, so I talked to God. I felt God tell me to start monitoring how much time I spend on my phone. It helped me see how much time I was spending. So, what are your temptations and how can you enforce self-discipline into your life? Really ask yourself and try.
