I wrote this post a few weeks ago, but didn’t post it. But for various and sundry reasons, I keep coming back to it. I am sure you can relate.
It’s starting to be one of those days when I can relate to Paul. I am sure that lots of you feel this way as well
For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.
Drives me NUTS.
And it drove Paul nuts
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am!
I hate feeling like the wretched man.
Luckily, as like Paul, we all have one form of deliverance and hope.
Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! Romans 7
Stay the course, and keep fighting the battle inside your mind today. The victory is worth it.
