Rom8:12- My dear friends, we must not live to satisfy our desires.(CEV)
If you want to know how to live a life aqwthat is acceptable and pleasing to God, read the opening text again. There's no ambiguity in the text above.
We must live a life that is totally sold-out to our master. That doesn't mean God wants us to be dummies but our desires must be brought under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We can only do whatever he approves for us¬ otherwise.
Action point
Father, I crucify my desires at the foot of the cross and may your will be done in every area of my life In Jesus Name.
