Day 28

My ankle is still a little messed up from the fall, but it's getting much better. I don't think I'll jog for probably another week or so, but I can walk almost without a limp today. Tonight I did 100 push-ups, and was convicted of how easily I justify my sins, by reading Romans 8 and some stuff from John Eldredge. Romans 8:9 in particular smacked me upside the head.

It's so easy to justify our sins; so easy to create a reason why it's okay, or to do it "just this once". But I need to remember that I am controlled not by my sinful nature, but by the Spirit of God. I think by praying it over tonight, slowing down when it comes to making the decision to justify, and remembering that the Spirit dwells within me, I can get the upper hand on this pretty quick.

I am thankful that I am forgiven for all past, present and future sins, because of the price Jesus paid on the cross for me.
