Wednesday's Wonderings

Wondering why it's so hard to follow the statement "Your actions always follow your beliefs."

But do all of our actions always follow our beliefs?? Or are there times when we slip and follow another set of rules even for just a moment.... So does that actually mean we don't believe our beliefs... Or do we have a "slip - up" clause....

Man, this Christianity thing is really tough....I take some solace in the fact that Paul also had a tough time with this when he tells us; "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." Romans 7: 14 - 20

Whew!!! SO there is always a constant battle between good and evil going on inside of us 24/7....

My prayer is that we will strive to do the good and continue to strive to do the good no matter what!!!

Prayer of the Day: Jesus help me to do the good I need to do and not the evil.

Keep Lookin' Up!
