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<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
