Personal Notes - Psalm 139:22


“I hate them with the utmost hatred; they have become my enemies.”

“For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish. But if I am doing the very thing I do not wish, I am not longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wishes to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.” Romans 7:19-25

Recognising personal sin is difficult. Perhaps it takes time to see and recognise personal sin, because we don’t want to and sometimes because of this we can too often be our own worst enemy!

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
