Seems like yesterday was a struggle for us! I pray today goes more smoothly.
We are still in Romans 7:15-24.
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
(KJV)
Day 2: TRUTHS
Lies fill our world and seep into our homes. If we don’t know His truths then lies will
take us captive. Lies have taken me captive. If lies bind us, we doubt God’s love and question His faithfulness when difficulties arise. If lies fill our minds, we define God’s character based upon our circumstance rather than based upon His revelation. We must maintain an arsenal of truths in our hearts and souls in order to combat lies. – Savoring Living Water
With your journal and pen ready, look for specific TRUTHS in this week’s text. Read the passage three times, each time answering one of the following questions:
• What does this passage teach about God?
• What does this passage teach about the author?
• What can I learn about who I am in Christ?
As you find truths, list them in your journal. Consider making a master list of all you learn through your studies about the Holy Spirit, the fruit that comes as you keep in step with the Spirit of God, and what is true of those who are in Christ.
Let me know what you think! Here’s hoping we get lots of uninterrupted time with the Word today. I know what a pipe-dream that is sometimes.
