God’s Word for Today - 26 Aug 2024
Romans 7:18 KJV — For 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.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 26 Aug 2024
Every honest follower of Christ can relate to this internal struggle Apostle Paul is alluding to in today’s scripture. The war between the desires of the flesh and the demands of the spirit is ever present and it takes intentional submission to the Holy Spirit to be victorious in every battle of the war. Nobody is exempt from this war and it is quite easy to get consumed in it if one tries to fight the battle in one’s strength. That’s why the Bible warns that “let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he falls.“ Many, including big names in the churches worldwide, have fallen in the war, so do not take this warning lightly. Mortify the desires of your flesh!
Pray: O Spirit Divine, I submit to You, let me never succumb to the desires of my flesh. #Mok
