Good morning! How are we faithing? We all desire to follow Gods ordinances don't we? Don't we all want to walk upright and holy? Why can't we? Simply put, Adam and Eve walked with God and couldn't keep his 1 commandment. That pretty much tells me I'm in real deep. Look at the apostle Paul and how he explains it.

Rom 7:14-20
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
NIV

Is that true or what? We desire but can't fulfill the adherence to laws. We are just incapable of it. Why? Because of a sinful nature, sin in us. So what are we to do? Where is that light that guides us down the path to righteousness? Jesus man, only through Jesus. Continuing with Paul's preaching he explains this whole concept further.

Rom 7:21-25
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!
NIV

I get so disgusted at my own behavior. I do things and repent again and again. Keeping control of ourselves is hard when we deal with flesh AND spiritual things. Thank God that he paid the price because I can't, no matter how hard I try.

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your salvation. Thank you for your love that you would even consider saving us. Lord, we lift those up who are worried and concerned for their lives and their loved ones. Heal the sick, protect the weak and make us light unto the world and sear in our minds the promises and the confidence you are in control. We ask for wisdom and truth be evident for us to see and others to see in us. In Jesus name, amen
