There will always be a struggle. As demonstrated in the recent "skit" God is giving us our "free will" and Jesus is petitioning for us to the Father... and many people, even Christians, do not give Satan the credit he does deserve. He is tough and powerful too. Its a daily fight. And God will "WIN" if we realize we need to ask HIM to help us with this battle. Satan is crafty... he knows our weakeness... the "pink toes" was not an "accident."<br><br>That scripture... "take my yoke for it is light..." Yokes were used to lead and control the oxen... heavy wooden things. on their necks - Jesus says take HIS yoke... which means... its still a challenge and not going to be easy to walk His walk... but His is lighter and more gentle in leading us. So if we continue to ask for His guidance... the struggle will be less. Pulling in our own way causes much more pain for sure. I have tried to pull away from His yoke. I have to remind myself which "yoke" to take. Its just not worth the struggle. One key thing to remember, there is a spiritual war fare going on. There will always be a struggle.

That scripture… “take my yoke for it is light…” Yokes were used to lead and control the oxen… heavy wooden things. on their necks – Jesus says take HIS yoke… which means… its still a challenge and not going to be easy to walk His walk… but His is lighter and more gentle in leading us. So if we continue to ask for His guidance… the struggle will be less. Pulling in our own way causes much more pain for sure. I have tried to pull away from His yoke. I have to remind myself which “yoke” to take. Its just not worth the struggle.
