I'm fighting Myself

In my reading of the enemy within I have had many insights; but the main one has been a better understanding of my sin. I've learned how cunning and smart my sin is. How when I fight it it changes tactics immediately to continue pursuing me. I learned it never rests, I've learned it is eternally greedy.

But all this time I thought my "it" was Satin himself. But after reading chp IV I learned "it" is my flesh. When the author spoke of how easy it was to watch a movie, but when he starts to pray his mind will wander, I saw it (because I have the same problem). My flesh that desires "innocent" food that I feed it also desires lust. The key to this is it's MY FLESH: not Satin feeding me lies, not me struggling w/sin.

This perspective scares me and confuses me more about Gods purpose in creating us. But most importantly I've learned: my battle isn't against Satin or even sin, but myself.
