The will of the flesh or the the will of his Holy Spirit? - We are free to choose!

I read this scripture today and it struck me so I decided to share it.

"And the Lord said unto Cain : Why art thou wroth? Why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, thou shalt be accepted.  And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door, and Satan desireth to have thee; and except thou shalt hearken unto my commandments, I will deliver thee up, and it shall be unto thee according to his desire. . . ."

The scripture goes on to tell of the consequences that will come to Cain if he chooses to follow Satan and then explains very simply the reason for the sad consequences -  "for he rejected the greater counsel which was had from God." (Moses 5:23-25)

It just emphasizes to me that all that comes to us in the final analysis is a result of our choices.  We choose our own fate.  We "are free to choose liberty and eternal life through the great Mediator of all men. or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil." (2 Nephi 2:27)  The power and the choice lies within us and we can't blame anyone else or any circumstance.

We can choose to follow "the will of the flesh and the evil which is therein which giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate" or we can choose to "look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life according to the will of his Holy Spirit." ( 2 Nephi 2:28-29)  Which will we choose - the will of the flesh or the will of his Holy Spirit.
