Nothing Good in Myself

Scripture Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find

Observation: I realize that there is nothing in my flesh that is good. All of my life without Jesus was sin, all I thought about was myself. I hurt people, sinned against God and lived a life in sin. When Jesus took up residency in my body and mind, He was the one that used me for good, without Him I would still be that wretched man I was most of my life.

Application: I need to allow the Holy Spirit to take over and use me to do good and help others. I need to die to self and be that new creation God is calling me to be. I need to stay in close communication so that I can get my instructions each day form the Holy Spirit and stay on the path that God has chosen for me.

Prayer Thank you Jesus for changing this sinner. Continue to work in me that I may do the things You desire of me and draw me close. I still sin each day in my thoughts help continue to grow me to be the man You desire me to be.
