CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The Word:  Romans 7:18-25 – Released From the Law, Bound to Christ – Pauls submission to Christ

For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

The 1st time that I truly heard this passage was about 3 years ago when I was a part of a group at church called Strong Hearts.  

I’m so thankful that Paul wrote this because we have all been there. We are cruising along in our Christian lives and then we fail. Then we feel the guilt pile on us.(Verse 24) We failed our father. (Verse 25) Our saving grace. Thankful that one of the great superheroes of the Bible laid it all out and admitted his struggles for an example for us.

1 Timothy 6: “But godliness with contentment is great gain…

What are you going to leave behind when you die.  It’s not stuff.  What are you pouring into…what are you influencing.  Are we more concerned over how much stuff we are accumulating or what type of impact we are making on others lives?  I have to practice contentment and being happy with what I have.  We are blessed and we need to bless others.
