“I know that in me (that is, in my flesh)
nothing good dwells.”
ROMANS 7:18
Paul
knew this because he knew the Cross. Do we know it? Those who embrace
the Cross have acknowledged this in themselves and have surrendered
their way over to His
Way.
In what areas must
we acknowledge this inability to do anything apart from Christ? It must
not only be acknowledged: it must be truly seen, deeply felt, and
painfully experienced in every area of our life, one step at a time.
This is the work of the Cross. In our daily life we come up against
situations that we cannot overcome in our own strength, or with our own
wisdom. We need a strength and a wisdom that comes from Above, that
comes from
Beyond, that comes from Another outside of us and yet rises up from
within us.
