Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Romans 7:24, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?”

Paul is in the realm of trying to conquer a problem in his life, the one thing that always defeats him.

If it were not for this one thing, he would feel that he is okay.

But this one thing makes him feel hopeless about himself.

This describes Paul struggling in the wrong realm.

This struggling happens especially in those who know the law, in those who have knowledge about proper and improper reactions.

You may know something, but what is crucial is the source you come from with that knowledge.

In Romans 7:24 Paul cries, “O wretched man that I am!”

Just look at “I am” and then look at the first word of the next phrase, “Who.”

You have two persons here.

“Wretched man that I am” means that I have exhausted expecting anything from myself, looking to myself, working on myself.

This is wonderful.

Then Paul steps out of his self-effort and says, “Who will deliver me from this body of death?”

He has transferred from one realm to another.

His words show us his realization of the need for Another Person.

Finally, Paul says, “I thank God–through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (v. 25).

Here he has absolutely shifted, not in his experience, but in his sight.

Sight comes before experience.

Look! Let God reveal it to you.

Before you have “a track record,” before you do anything, before your experience–do not even count experience–just see that God put you in Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 1:30) and say “Thank You.”

That is vision.

That is revelation.

Then what issues out of this is living in the proper realm: “I thank God through Jesus Christ.”

Until Tomorrow,

With A Shepherd’s Love

Pastor
