Sometimes it’s hard to turn down what we want, even when we know it is bad for us.

Joseph Solomon, a YouTube video blogger and inspirational speaker, discusses the need to reject our desire for the instantaneous and seek a higher calling.

“There are many times where we desire sinful things, or even desire things that are good but we desire it with sinful motives,” Solomon says in the video. “What our flesh is saying what we need are these particular things, when really what our soul needs is God.”
