I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. Romans 7:19 NLT
That conflict is something almost everyone can identify in their life about a particular thing or season. You know what is right; you plan to do what is right but then you find yourself doing exactly the opposite. It’s the struggle of every child of God. So what do you do when you find yourself in the struggle? Do you throw your hands up and say it’s hopeless?
There is hope in the struggle. The struggle is not confined to people by race, age or gender. The struggle is real but Jesus in your life makes the difference. Many times, the desire to do good is there but the strength to do what is good is lacking. Verse 25 says, “So the answer to the conflict is Jesus Christ. He makes the difference in your life. Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.” Your relationship with Jesus Christ is your hope in your struggle. Romans 8:2 says, “And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.” There is hope in your struggle.
Thought for Today: Jesus Christ frees from the power of sin
Have a blessed day and walk in faith and victory.
There is One who is an aspect of God’s being who understands our life’s struggles because He has been through them. And God is working to reach out to us even as we reach out to Him. It was for this purpose that Christ suffered and died. Yes. there is hope in your struggle!
