Thoughts for Today


When we become a Christian, we are a new creation in Christ, but we still live in mortal bodies that remain in a fallen, sinful world. This places us in a continuing battle with sin. We will constantly be dominated by sin and frustrated if we try to fight the battle alone in our own strength. On the other hand, the Bible promises us in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. All things.

In Romans 7, the apostle Paul talks about his frustrations when he tried to do things on his own. Paul said he didn't understand his actions, he was not doing what he liked to do, and he was doing what he hated. He wanted to do right but couldn't - on his own. But he found the answer. Read today's scripture again. "The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."

Consider this ...


What are you struggling with? Anger? Unforgiveness? Jealousy? Maybe pornography or infidelity. Perhaps you are not being the spouse or parent you know you should be. Or you may even be doing the right things for the wrong reasons. Or doing them to excess, neglecting your personal time with the Lord or quality time with your family.

We all struggle, sometimes more than others. The struggles vary, but the answer is always the same. "The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."

Stop trying to live in your own strength. Learn to lean on Jesus. To let him guide and strengthen you. With him, you can do all things.
