It seems sometimes I am fighting against myself ... and losing.
Why is this so surprising? Hasn't God said that we have three enemies? The last is the Devil (though powerful he is not our primary foe, yet gets the most credit for our woes); the second is the world (the anti-God or apathetic-to-God social milieu); and the first, the chief and yet the most disregarded, the flesh (our fallen self-centered nature*).
Yes, I am fighting against self, yet am so lacking in self-awareness that I don't realise I'm in battle until after I've lost.
