In this devotional talk, speaker Jeremiah Tipton urges listeners to "fight the flesh" when approaching the Bible. He describes the initial difficulty of staying focused—how the flesh becomes bored and the spirit feels restless—yet emphasizes that persistent effort turns Scripture reading from a forced discipline into a natural, delightful spiritual practice. By choosing to engage the Word consistently, even in small increments, believers can transform biblical study into a habit as effortless as breathing.

Chapters

We have to learn to fight the flesh. And at first, when you go to read the word, maybe, maybe just one chapter, you're already, you're already feeling your focus waning. You already feel like, like, like your flesh is saying that it's bored. And yes, the flesh gets bored when reading the word, but not your spirit. And so there's this fight, there's this frustration, there's this, this really strong effort just to get to the words on the page. But you do that and then you continue to do that. And the word of God will go from being a discipline to being a delight. It will go from being rigid and forced to be natural, just like breathing. It'll be a natural spiritual discipline, but you have to choose to do it, and you can do it little by little.
