Karlyn - Romans 7:17-18

S - 7:17-18 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.  For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is , in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of good is not.

O - I feel like this a lot.  I have such good intentions and I hear the holy spirit telling me what he wants me to do but then I can ignore that calling and just be selfish and do what I want or not do anything at all. 

A - In our book club last night we talked about Joy and how when we're praising God, singing to God, serving him by helping others, and in his Word it's so much easier for us to have joy because we aren't focused on selfishness but Him.  That's where I stand every day, am I going to be selfish and think only about me and the problems that I have or things I don't have or am I going to focus my attention on Christ and others.  I want to do the second part a whole lot more than I am!

P - Lord help me to listen when you speak to me and not just have good intentions but act on what you want me to do.  Help me not to focus on my needs and wants.  Thank you for all the second chances you give us.
