After reading Jeff's article, a large part of me feels as if I can only cling to God's merciful promise that His strength is perfected in our weakness. For as Paul so eloquently stated, I find 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 (only a regenerated, born again believer feels that way), but I far too often see a different 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 which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?
My paraphrase: Deliver me, Lord, from myself. Rescue me from the prison of this corruptible body that temporarily houses this person who wants to follow Your ways wholeheartedly. In no small part, that is why I long for the harpazo. So that the mere presence of the light of our Savior's glory will not permit even the smallest nook or cranny of darkness to remain in any part of our being, when we will no longer have to wage the seemingly schizophrenic war for our spirit to overcome this unrelenting corrupt flesh. Maranatha, Lord Yeshua. Watching for You today and longing to be in Your presence where no darkness can remain!!! Thankful for the promise that it will happen one day, and by the signs we see around us, one day very soon. Until then, empower us to press on for Your honor and Your glory. Happy Thanksgiving.
