"So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!" (Romans 7:21-25 NIV)
If you have been a Christians for any significant length of time then you probably have first hand experience with this passage, I do. Living for God each day can be a real challenge; it is an impossible task to fulfill without God's grace. As a matter of fact, I think that is the point of this scripture. If you read it carefully again and let the weight of the last three sentences sink in you will see what I am talking about.
"What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
Today, as an act of worship, join me in thanking God for his amazing rescue!
