“So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.”
Romans 7:21-25 ESV
All,This stands out because Paul says, “So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.” It’s a joy when I hear men refer to this passage as we are growing closer to God. It signals an awaking to the power of the flesh, but also to how much MORE power is in the Spirit. We now know we can chose to live in the flesh or the Spirit. It really comes down to which one we feed. Review Galatians 5:19-23(flesh and Spirit) and see which characteristics describe you today. Please pray that we and our friends abide in Christ today and live out the fruit of the Spirit. Please pray for Linda Hadden as she will be in surgery on Friday.
