Today's Scripture *July 26, 2010*
Romans 7: 23-25
But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
There is a great tension in daily Christian experience. The conflict is that we agree with God's commands but cannot do them. As a result, we are painfully aware of our sin. This inward struggle with sin was as real for Paul as it is for us today. From Paul, we learn what to do about it. Whenever he felt overwhelmed by the spiritual battle, he would return to the beginnings of his spiritual life, remembering how he had been freed from sin by Jesus Christ. When we feel confused and overwhelmed by sin's appeal, let us claim the freedom Christ gave us. His power can lift us to victory.
Heavenly Father, we praise You for Your comforting Word to us today.
May we turn to You and remember who You are. How You saved us. And who we are in You.
Thank You for cleansing our sins. Thank You for renewing our minds and spirits day by day.
May we truly give You all that we have, all that we are, and all that we hope to be. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a terrific new week ahead!
Love in Christ,
April
