A Battle

“For to will is present with me; but how to perform
that which is good I find not”
(Romans 7:18).

In case you hadn’t figured it out, there’s a battle going on inside you. It is an ongoing struggle that takes place in every believer in the Lord Jesus most of the time. Satan wants at least equal time with the Lord. So as a master salesman he presents you with his wares every day. Some of these wares are very attractive, and presented so subtly that if we are not on our constant guard, we don’t even realize it.

At the same time the Lord whispers, “No, don’t buy itdon’t take itdon’t do itdon’t try it!” As a result you turn away. But then the devil comes back with a stronger sales pitch, and, sad to say, you fall for it.

Yes, the flesh and the new nature fight all the time. “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would” (Galatians 5:17). We constantly need to trust the Lord to help us by the Spirit to resist the enemy and follow our Saviour’s leading alone.
