Will my struggle ever completely go away?

Submitted by Admin on 6 February 2009 - 1:05pm

Nowhere in the bible is there a promise of a temptation free life. Jesus challenges His followers to take up their crosses and die daily and Romans Ch8 v12-13 challenge us to continue to live from the Spirit of God rather than our sinful nature. Struggles of one sort or another are most likely therefore to remain a “thorn in the flesh” to us. As we yield to Christ and learn to overcome, they could well diminish, and we can never rule out a sovereign act of God. In this world, however, freedoms generally need fighting for and an important lesson from Judges Ch3 v2 is to learn battle experience: it makes us stronger.
