Daily Battle - Around Us and Within

"Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." - Gal 1:3-5

Do you find the battle against this present age just as exhausting as the battle against our own flesh? I do. Most days, I am so frustrated with the weakness of my flesh that I wonder if I have any faith left to battle against the temptations of the world. Thanks be to Jesus who gave Himself up for our sins and is constantly delivering us from this present evil world and from our own flesh.

Jesus's beauty in the eyes of the Father is greater than my sins. The sufficiency of His work overcomes my weaknesses. His glory is greater than the power that overcomes this world.

Brothers and sisters, when you are defeated by your own self-serving, law-keeping flesh and frustrated by the world that does all things contrary to Christ, look to the very Savior who is satisfyingly sufficient.
