Romans 7:18-22
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.
19. For the good that I would I do not:but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20.Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

For some reason today that scripture has been on my mind. When I read chapter 7 of Romans. I started to think "huh". (Sometimes Paul's writings are so confusing to the
tongue and mind.) Then I read it again.
How I do understand it more and more. Life is so FILLED with things that do not matter in the kingdom of God that I put first in my life (because I think that it is important). But to God it is not. In my "Inner Struggle" My heart is in the right place (verse 22) but my flesh is after the sinful things that the devil puts in front of me to keep my mind so clouded.
I pray that today my mind will be on Him (the Lord) and not on things of this flesh.
