Although
I Want To Do Good,
Evil Is Right There With Me
Scripture
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
Observation
Every
day you and I are fighting a spiritual battle.
The
fight, the war rages inside of each one of us. Our old sinful nature constantly
wants us to sin.
If
you are a Christian, a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, you have been given a
new nature and that new nature urges us to live godly lives, lives that are
pleasing to God.
It
is like a dogfight.
A
white dog and a black dog are fighting - how do you know which one will win the
fight? It is the one that gets fed the most.
When
you and I neglect our new nature, when we begin drifting away, not reading our
Bible, missing church, missing small group, not spending time in prayer be
aware that going on at the same time is our old nature with its desire to sin.
It begins winning the battle and taking control.
Lets
not forget – “Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me!”
Application
I
will spend time in God’s Word everyday. I will feed my soul. How about you?
Prayer
I pray for those reading this blog who may be struggling with sin. Give them victory. Help those with the demons of addictions walk in sobriety today.
I pray for my family and friends that still need to yield their lives to You. Give them spiritual understanding. Show them that they can trust in and depend on You. I pray for their salvation. I pray that they will unashamedly call You their Lord and their Savior!
