“WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM!”

 Romans 7:24-25                             (ESV)

“[24] “WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM”! Who will deliver me from this body of death? [25] Thanks be to GOD through JESUS CHRIST our LORD! So then, I myself serve the law of GOD with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.”

This letter (book of Romans) was written by Paul to “all those in Rome who are loved by GOD and CALLED be saints” (Romans 1:7)!  In the 2,000 years since, “the enemy” has not been weakened, nor has he given up any of his tricks to deceive!  “WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM” that I allow myself to to be overtaken by the schemes of the evil one and cause pain and discontent in my life?  

Paul was a stalwart of Believers.  My level of commitment may never match his, but I am TREMENDOUSLY further along than I used to be!  FATHER IN HEAVEN, cause this “WRETCHED MAN THAT I AM” to SEE the traps of “the enemy” and focus on serving YOU!!!
