Reading: Exodus 21, Psalm 119:49-96, Romans 7
Scripture: Romans 7:4 'Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. '
Thought: As a man continually being bombarded with the lusts of the flesh and striving to walk in the victory that God has provided through is Son. This passage is a great reminder that we need to be the living sacrifice and live as one who has died to our sins and have been raised to the new life. Walking out that Victory at times can be the hardest thing in our lives because even within that victory there are still struggles. For work I spend my days working with the public and driving. It would be easy to watching the scantily clad women or even those who where supper form fitting cloths. It would also be easy to get mad and upset at every inconsiderate driver out there who wont let you merge or feels that their time is more important so they rush ahead. We are all guilty of sin and all only know that sin because of the Law but we have been freed from that guilt through Christ Jesus our Lord. Let us step up and live in that victory.
Prayer: Father, I love you and fall on my face before you. I thank you for taking my guild and raising me to walk in a new life. I thank you for your blessings and provisions that you pour out on us each and every day. Help me to release the hurt and condemnation the world and the evil one tries to heap upon me. Help me to walk in the victory you have for me. I also ask for your direction on my life, in my work, in ministry, and what the next step in your plan is. Here I am send me.
