Romans 7

For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.  v.15

Read chapter 7
Tongue twister in these verses.  What Paul wants to do he doesn't but what he doesn't want to do he does.  How true is that.  We want to get healthy but we find ourselves gorging on sweets, what our flesh desires is fighting with what our mind desires.
Now this doesn't mean we can justify our sin because even Paul said he did things he didn't want to do.  Paul is talking about being under the law.  Under the law he couldn't keep all that God commanded and so he's not doing what he wants to do since the laws requirements could only be upheld fully for those inside the holy land.  He hates breaking God's law, but that's what he's doing because he's outside the land and cannot uphold all the law.  He and the Jews in Roman didn't have the means to keep the law unless they moved back to Israel- which was not necessarily feasible at that time.  Today when we struggle with sin, we cannot say we don't have the means to stop this stumbling, for one we have the Holy Spirit, but also it's not the law of the Old Testament we're trying to uphold, but living for Christ wherever we're at.  Usually it's because we don't want to stop sinning, not that there's no means to stop.  We also as believers can desire to live for Christ always but it's not realistic that we will never sin against Him again, the tendency to lean towards sin is far too real and we can fall into a lifestyle or habit of something we hate.
What are you doing that you will not to do?  What do you will to do that you are not?
