So a fool repeats his folly. (Proverbs 26:11)
I love immersing myself in Your Word to see what You have for me. I love feeling Your presence in my life and watching as You lead me and my family. I love seeing the fruit You have and continue to produce through us.
So why, why do I sometimes return to the vile things of this world? Why return to the very things I laid at the foot of Your cross years ago? When will this flesh stop dragging me down - taking me away from You, when all I want is to draw closer?
For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. (Romans 7:15)
My life is trapped here between heaven and earth. My flesh is always trying to grab at me and drag me back down into the muck and mire; my spirit is always reaching for You. No earthly thing can break these chains that bind me… Yet, there is hope!
O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. (Romans 7:24-25)
