“So, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation whatsoever to do what your sinful nature urges you to do” (Romans 8:12 NLT).
What a relief! This verse provides the breath of fresh air I so desperately need. The incentive to keep trying. The prize at the end of the race now seems more attainable.
All the sins I’ve been struggling with…
All the temptations I’ve been staring at…
All the opportunities to act in an ungodly manner…
All the time I’ve had the monumental desire to spew just what I was thinking…
I am, and it tells me right here in His Word, under no obligation at all to follow through with any of it. I hold in my hand, my heart and my mind the choice to be victorious over Satan’s ploys. And, dear friend, so do you.
