I have an enemy
I deal with daily
I face constantly
It seems my battle will
continue till the day I die
My enemy is not
the President
the Russians
Chinese
or Iran
My enemy is not
Atheists
Muslims
or Hindus
My enemy isn't
ISIS, Nazis, anarchists,
liberals or conservatives
My enemy isn't
homosexuals
transgenders
or bisexuals
My enemy is much more insidious
than any of these,
much more deadly and dangerous
My enemy is ME
Paul the Apostle knew this same enemy
when he wrote these words,
" I have discovered this principle of life—that
when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I
love God’s law with all my heart. But there is
another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a
slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what
a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by
sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus
Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s
law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin."
My enemy
is ME!
But
because of Jesus Christ our Lord
that
enemy can face defeat daily
if only I
will trust him
to live
his life through me
Lord, I
am the problem, not anyone else
Thank you
for being the solution
Win the
battle in me
live
your life through me
Win the
battle with the enemy
that is
me
