A Blessing for a Way Out of Sin

There is a way out.

There is a way forward.

There is way of victory.

There is always a way with God.

After mentioning himself 40 times

In Romans chapter seven –

Forty “I’s” and “my’s,”

Forty “I do not do what I wants”

And “I know that nothing good dwells in my flesh,”

Paul lets out the cry

That every struggler must eventually cry:

“Who will deliver me from this body of death?” (Romans 7:24)

No longer “I” or “My” but “Who?”

When you’ve struggled long enough

And hard enough

That you become empty enough

To know that you aren’t enough,

I bless you to cry with Paul for deliverance,

And join the triumph:

“Thanks be to God … through Jesus Christ!” (Romans 7:25)

There is a way: the Way.

Jesus delivers God’s people from evil.
