I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 7:21-25a (New Living Translation)
I realized at 5:30 a.m. this morning that I am more of a creature of habit than I care to confess. You see, I’m use to rising early, getting myself a cup of chai team and enjoying my time alone with God, while the rest of the house is still quiet. Unfortunately, I rose this morning to the ugly realization that I had no milk and without milk you can not enjoy chai tea. What’s a gal to do when her morning routine is broken?
Then I realized, perhaps it’s time to break a few other routines and habits in my life, especially the ones that come out of my human or fleshly nature and impact those around me. So, for this week following the celebration of Father’s Day, we’ll be looking at how we can help our fathers, our husbands and others in our lives by breaking some old and fleshly habits of our own.
Who will free us from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Grab a cup of coffee (or not) and join us this week as we discover the answer is in Christ Jesus!
