I pray for humility in my life and attitude but even when I am being humble I feel like I am doing that out of pride and to draw attention to myself. It is unfortunate that even when my Spirit desires to buffet the flesh, the flesh resists so much the more. I think I know how Paul felt when he wrote Romans 7: [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.<BR/>[19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.<BR/>[20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.<BR/>I "seem" to have the will but fail when it comes to the "perform". I hope to encourage you in this effort and hope you welcome the comments.<BR/>Yours in Christ<BR/>Brother Steven RialsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
