So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. Romans 7:25b
How can we have two masters, God's law and the law of sin? We either serve one, or we serve the other. Yet Paul describes himself in this way - a slave to both.
I guess a simpler question would be: How is Jesus both man and God?
We don't know; it just IS!
Lord, my struggle is so... ordinary. Despite the way I see it sometimes, as something unique that no one else could ever understand, it is nothing new. There has been a battle between the spiritual and the unspiritual since Adam and Eve stood under that tree.
Help me to see the truth: I am not the most hideous man to walk the face of the earth. The enemy wants me to believe this because it shifts my focus away from the right Master. Help me to turn my eyes to You. Help me to hear Your voice. Help me to serve You alone today.
