Knowing Yourself
“I know that in me (that is,
in my flesh) nothing good dwells.”
ROMANS 7:18
Paul knew this because he knew the Cross. Do we know it? Those who
embrace the Cross have acknowledged this in themselves and have
surrendered their way over to His Way.
In what areas must we acknowledge this inability to do anything apart
from Christ? It must not only be acknowledged: it must be truly seen,
deeply felt, and painfully experienced in every area of our life, one
step at a time. This is the work of the Cross. In our daily life we come
up against situations that we cannot overcome in our own strength, or
with our own wisdom. We need a strength and a wisdom that comes from
Above, that comes from Beyond, that comes from Another outside of us and
yet
rises up from within us.
