I'm always gonna be a work in progress ... Now is as good a time as any to start being strategic in how to fight my sin.
"So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?"
-Romans 7:21-24. I hope this coming semester will help me exclaim with Paul verse 25 and 8:1.
Some questions that help discern idols in the heart ... Taken from theresurgence.com ... which took this from "Counterfeit Gods" by Tim Keller (grateful to have this book):
"Where are you spending your money?"
"Where does your imagination take you? What do you daydream about?"
"Where are your emotions uncontrollable? What do you find yourself longing for, angry over, or fearful of? There is your idol."
"How do you respond to unanswered prayers or dashed hopes?"
