Does sin tire you out? I mean really? Do you know what it feels like to groan along with creation “as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies” (Romans 8:23)? You go out in the world and everywhere is sin. It’s in your ears, it’s in your view; you aren’t looking for it but it is looking for you. Do you relate? I become so weary and tired of sin.
It’s not only out there, it’s within. And this I find to be even more tiresome. How much I relate to the apostle Paul who said “For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing (Romans 8:18-19).” Your words tumble out of a tongue that seems set on fire by hell, your motives get skewed, your excuses get wimpy, and you say you want to make changes but a little laziness just seems to take over. Your desires are lacking, your passion is up and down, and your appetite for the Word of God is much weaker than it should be. You know the good you ought to do but do not do it and sin. It’s me. How I want to change. How I want to be more like Jesus Christ. (more…)
