Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Can you relate with the confession of Paul in Romans chapter 7?   "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do    I do not do, but what I hate I do."

Do you ever feel this inner tug-of-war?  The spiritual battle going on in our bodies?  in our minds?
in our hearts? We set our minds to follow God...yet we sin even though we try so hard not to....
What is the deal?

Verse 18-19  says,  "For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 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. "

Our flesh is the problem...as long as we are here on this side of eternity....our flesh will wage war against the Spirit living in us.  But along with Paul we can declare..."Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Hallelujah !!!!
