Satan is always walking about like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour next. He has already devoured so many. He is looking for those who are careless enough to lust with their eyes, who are bitter against others, and who are unrighteous. He marks such believers as targets to be devoured slowly. So we must always live in a healthy fear lest we fall.

An athlete disciplines himself in so many areas. Even so, you must discipline your bodily desires, if you want to overcome against Satan and your lusts and finally win their eyes.

Paul said, “I discipline my body and make it do what it should do, and not what it wants to. Otherwise after having preached to others I myself will be disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27).

In the sermon on the mount when Jesus said that our righteousness must be more than that of the Pharisees, He spoke of three parts of our body that we had to be especially careful-our tongue, eyes, and our hands. These are the three bodily members that we must yield to God as a living sacrifice, every day.

How must we balance academics and spirituality?
