The gravitational force is the weakest of the four fundamental forces of nature. Newton’s law of gravity refers to the force between two bodies in proportion to its mass and distance. This pull is invisible to the naked eye unless of course you are doing something like skydiving. Another pull also exists, a tug of war between the human flesh and the Holy Spirit.
For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want, Galatians 5:17.
The Christian group Curious Fools sings about the passage above in their song entitled Pull. This soft rock classic has inspired drama teams to illustrate the message of the lyrics in the attached you tube. Whether you are disciplined, focused or organized, anyone is susceptible to the pull between the cravings of the flesh and prompting of the Holy Spirit.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit, Romans 8:5.
The apostle Paul examines what goes on within human beings as this pull commences. The mind is like a trigger, leading you in one way or the other. Thoughts serve like a steering wheel, guiding you in the direction of your desires. Perhaps, this may explain Paul’s obsession with the heart and mind in his letters, Colossians 3:1-3. If you don’t want to be pulled the wrong way any longer, begin by taking your thoughts captive, making them obedient to Christ.
