—Romans 7:14-25
by: Lisa Moore.
Adam blamed Eve for his disobedience. Eve blamed the serpent. Famous comedian Flip Wilson got big laughs whenever he said, “The devil made me do it!” Households with multiple children will often hear them blaming each other for their bad behavior. It is so easy to blame others. Paul looked inward, understanding that the source of his disobedience was not external but an internal bidding to do evil in spite of his intentions to do good. We all have this inward struggle. So stop blaming others and stop thinking self-help is the cure. Like Paul, let’s thank God for the real solution to this problem: Jesus Christ!
