Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name." (Psalm 86:11)
"Isn't that awesome? God knows that our hearts, even after salvation, are broken and divided. The apostle Paul obviously knew it as well, for that is the very thing he is trying to convey in Romans 7: 15-21. He can't seem to understand why, when he wants to do the right things, he continually does the wrong things. He needed the Lord, just as we do, to unite the pieces of our hearts. God alone is capable of healing them. When we finally see our broken hearts being restored by the Spirit of God, we will be able to become all that He intends for us to be--like Him. This is sanctification. This is the highway to holiness."
Are you ready to submit your heart to the only one who can transform it? Today, why not stop all of your "trying" to get it done, and surrender your heart, that is divided between flesh and Spirit, to God. Follow in the footsteps of Paul, who learned to say, "I die daily." This is victory!
(Spiritual Healing: The Surrender That Brings Victory--Chapter 6)
