Today's devotion (2/19/07) Galatians 5:17

"For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want."
Galatians 5:17, NIV

"Why do I do all the things that I do when I want to do what is right?"-- Big Daddy Weave, Fields of Grace

How easy it is to slip into the habit of doing things without praying-- without consulting God. We want to do what is right, but continue to do what is wrong. We are human. Thank God for his Grace and patience with us. Thank God for the Spirit that sticks with us-- even when we are doing what we *want* rather than asking God what is right. Thank God.
