Did you know that even the apostle Paul struggled with doing the right thing? Yes, this is the same Paul who wrote two-thirds of the New Testament.

Paul was very transparent about His struggle in Romans 7:15:

"For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do."

I can relate. How about you?

Paul is talking about how his actions were not lining up with his will. He wanted to do good, but he was not finding the power to do good in his flesh:

"For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find."

What Paul is describing is a "no-win" situation. That is a terrible position to be in.

How many times had I struggled to do right thing in my own power, only to fail and then condemn myself for it? In my case, my struggle was binge and overeating (gluttony). I failed too many times to count.

But Paul wasn’t in a "no-win" situation. Why?

Paul discovered that the real problem was that he was looking for power to do good in the wrong place!

What is the right place?
