Galatians 5:22 (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Christ can rid you of inner conflict. Man without God is
always torn between two urges. His nature prompts him to do wrong, and his
conscience urges him to do right. Antagonistic desires and crossed-up emotions
keep him in a state of personal instability. Medical men have almost concluded
that this conflict is the basis of much physical breakdown and nervous
collapse. Many doctors now believe that among the contributing causes of the
common cold are stress, tension, and inner conflict. Paul must have been in the
midst of such a personal civil war when he cried, “O wretched man that I am!
Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” Then he answered his own
question when he said, “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Thought for today:
Do I demonstrate the fruit of the spirit? How do I check my appetites?
