Thursday Thought

It is Thursday and here is your thought.  The one who trusts in natural resources will fall and fail.  They who trust in divine resources will stand and prosper.  Today put your trust in the Lord and receive all the divine benefits He has in store for you.  Then release them to others for His praise and glory.

It is Good

It is Good – Romans 7:16-18

Vs 16 – If we do what we do not want to do, we have to agree that the law is good.  The law shows us that we are sinners incapable of doing good, even if we wanted too.

Vs 17 – A paradox of life is that it is not us but sin living in us that causes us to do bad things.  This however is not an excuse but the cause of sinful thoughts, words and actions.

Vs 18 – There is nothing good that dwells in us.  Our sinful nature prevents that.  Man is under the delusion that we are getting better but in reality we are not.  We have a desire to do good, but it is impossible for us to do as long as sin rules our hearts.

It is the middle of the week and here is your thought.  What a person thinks about most is what they make as a priority.  Jesus said that where your heart is so is your treasure.  Today make the things of God your number one priority.

The Question

The Question – Romans 7:13-15

Vs 13 – Paul then answers another question his critics presented.  Was that which is good become death to me?   Sin needs to be recognized as sin.  It cannot be excused, ignored or pandered with.  It will kill, rob and destroy.  It takes what is good and produces death.  The commandment showed what sin was and proved that is was utterly sinful.

Vs 14 – Paul then begins what is known as the great internal debate.  The law is spiritual.  Mankind is however unspiritual and a slave to sin.  We are dead in our trespasses and sin until we come to Christ.

Vs 15 – Paul says, we do not understand what we do.  What we want to do we cannot, will not or do not do.  We do what we hate.
