Wednesday - May 26, 2010 - Proverbs 1-3; Romans 7
S - Romans 7:19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing.
O - Paul was speaking about his sinful nature and how even though he wanted to be sinless, he kept on sinning.
A - There are things I should do, like exercising and things I shouldn't do, like overeating. And yet, I do the opposite of what I should do. Why do I do the opposite, when I know what the right thing to do is? It is because I allow my sinful flesh to have its way, instead of conquering it with my will to do the right thing.
P - Lord, I ask that you help me to do the right thing for me today. Help me to conquer my flesh.
