Are We Taking God For Granted?

Romans 7:21

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

I love this chapter as I feel like Paul was keeping it real here.  How many times as children of God, we know to do good, but our flesh!  You know you are fasting and yet somehow you can smell those McDonalds fries a mile away.  You know not to covet, but that person man is looking mighty good to our eyes.  You know not to fornicate, but he is looking so good and saying all the right things and making you feel like you’re only his alone.  You know you shouldn’t looking at things that will just entice” your heat”, but you sneak off and do it anyway.  The flesh!!!  It can lead you to a road that can carry you straight to hell.  It can ruin relationships not just with people, but with God.  Worse of all, it can take away your anointing! 

Yet we find ourselves to all have sinned and come short.  It is a deep thought to process.  Could it be we are just taking advantage of our Savior’s love??  His love is unconditional.  His love is indescribable.  His love  never fails!  Yet does that mean we take advantage of it??

Romans 6:1

What shall we say then?  Shall we continue in sin, that grace my abound?

Is it really ok to think I can do “flesh” things as long as I just repent?  Is that true repentance? We love to say how God looks at the heart when it comes to our clothing.  Yet God is looking at that same heart when it comes to our actions, even with repentance.

My sister in Christ had me thinking today!  Am I taking God’s love for granted?  It’s  something for us all to think about!
