Don’t Let Sin Reign

Scripture: Romans 6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Observation: Each day is a battle for me not to have sin reign in my life. I start each day in prayer and offer my life to God and that he would guide me. Yet it is so easy to stray in my mind whether lust, greed, anger or self pride, then sin takes over my thoughts. God however is always with me answering my prayers. Even though the thoughts are there, rarely do I obey these evil desires.

Application: I need to try harder to stop sin in my thinking. Jesus taught that even those thoughts are sins in themselves. I need to memorize more scriptures so I have the weapons to combat this sinful thinking.

Prayer: Dear Lord strengthen my heart and mind that it may be focused on your will and that I will be obedient to you this day.
