Day 29 is ready, and today’s lesson answers a question that troubles a great many sincere believers.
Paul has just shouted his great celebration, “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” and then in the very next breath adds something that stops most readers in their tracks. He describes himself as simultaneously serving God’s law with his mind and experiencing the pull of sin in his flesh.
Has the rescue failed? Is something wrong with him? Is something wrong with you? With me? Today’s lesson answers that question directly, honestly, and with a great deal of pastoral care. If you have ever wondered why genuine rescue and genuine struggle seem to coexist in your daily experience, this is the lesson for you.
