Devotion – The Reality of Sin
Scripture: Romans 7:15–20
Puritan Insight (Owen): “Sin always aims at the utmost; every time it rises up to tempt or entice, if it has its own way it will go to the utmost sin in that kind.”
Reflection: Paul’s struggle reveals the truth we often deny — sin is not merely external but dwells within. Recognizing this awakens us to vigilance.
Contemplation: Do I see sin as an intruder to be resisted, or as something tolerable? Awareness is the first weapon in the believer’s warfare.
Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to sin’s deceit. Let me hate it as You do, and depend on Your Spirit.
Challenge: Write down one area of repeated weakness and pray daily for victory over it this week.
