Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

12.06 Evening:

The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

In the way of Thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for Thee; the desire of our soul is to Thy Name, and to the remembrance of Thee. With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek Thee early.

I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not... For I delight in the Law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.―The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.―Our sufficiency is of God.―My grace is sufficient for thee.

Mt 26:41 Isa 26:8,9 Ro 7:18,22,23 Ga 5:17 Php 4:13 2Co 3:5 12:9

12.06 Evening:

(Matthew 26:41)Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

(Isaiah 26:8,9)Yea, in the way of Thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for Thee; the desire of our soul is to Thy Name, and to the remembrance of Thee. With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek Thee early: for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

(Romans 7:18)For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not...(Romans 7:22,23)For I delight in the Law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.--(Galatians 5:17)For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

(Philippians 4:13)I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.--(II Corinthians 3:5)Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;--(II Corinthians 12:9)And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the Power of Christ may rest upon me.
