Romans 7:22-23

"For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members."
Romans 7:22-23


The classic battle... the natural man versus the spiritual man.  Going on in us all the time.  Which will we eventually choose?  Will we bring our bodies in line with our spirits, or our spirits in line with our bodies?  It is challenging, but one of the reasons that we came to earth... to receive bodies, and to learn how to use them.  The good thing is that God gives us the answer... we're supposed to teach our bodies to serve our spirits.  to bridle the passions and hungers of the body, and fulfil our basic needs in positive ways, ways that won't harm our spirits.  Today, let's rally our spiritual forces and convince our bodies to play nice. :)  The funny thing about life is that before we can learn to become one as a Zion community, we have to learn to become one... individually.  Stop being at war with ourselves.  A body is a spectacular thing... if we can get it to work cooperatively with our spirit. :)
