"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." - Romans 7:15
This has been on my mind lately: Why are we often so intent on destroying ourselves? Why is it so hard for us to do what is good for us? Just like it is with nutritious food and junk food, why does the bad stuff taste so good?
I suppose sin would not really be a temptation if it didn't feel good or sound good or look good (though in the long run and in the ways that matter, it is none of these things).
Just like Paul, I don't really have an answer to those questions, but praise God that despite our conundrum, He provides a saving grace:
"Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!" - Romans 7:25
