the Text with Your Life:
- This passage is not confusing when you mentally imagine some life improvement you are trying to achieve: lose weight, stop smoking, be a more loving and generous person, etc.
- In like of Paul’s own struggles, how does it make you feel about your own?
- What is the struggle in your spiritual life right now?
Prayer
Focus: That our answer to everything in life – good and
bad – will always be Jesus Christ (see verse 25).
