The Fight One-a-Day Thursday    4/21/22

A life worthy

For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature.  They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want (Galatians 5:17).

Guest post today by C.S. Lewis:

Legion

Lord, hear my voice, my present voice I mean,

Not that which may be speaking an hour hence

(For I am Legion) in an opposite sense

And not by show of hands decide between

The multiple factions which my state has seen

Or will see. Condescend to the pretense

That what speaks now is I; in its defense,

Dissolve my parliament and intervene.

Thou wilt not, though we asked it, quite recall

Free will once given. Yet to this moment’s choice

Give unfair weight. Hold me to this. Oh strain

A point—use legal fictions; for if all

My quarreling selves must bear an equal voice

Farewell, thou hast created me in vain.

.

Yep; that about covers it.

Happy Thursday, Beloved.
