Thank God
I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Romans 7:25)
A monk [with] a quick temper was...always blaming his fellow [monks for his outbursts], so he decided to move to a place of absolute solitude.... One morning he accidentally knocked over a pitcher of water. A few minutes later he bumped it again, and once more it...spilled its contents. Losing his temper, the monk picked up the pitcher and hurled it to the ground. As it broke into smithereens, the truth hit him: he couldn't blame others for his flare-ups. The real trouble was within him.
How true of all of us! The apostle Paul was keenly aware of the outworking of sin in his life..., but he was confident of final victory.
