May 1, 2020-Chapter 6: "O Wretched Man That I Am"- Question: 4

What is the daily struggle of the “Impotent Man”? Why do you think God allows us, as His children, to struggle with this problem? What is God trying to bring us to understand in our lives? (Page 58-59)

ANSWER To Question 4 (As stated by the Author)

God allows that failure that the regenerate man should be taught his own utter impotence. It is in the cource of this struggle that there comes to us this sense of our utter sinfulness. It is God's way of dealing with us. He allows that man to strive to fulfill the law that, as he strives and wrestles, he may be brought to this: "I am a regenerate child of God, but i am utterly helpless to obey His law."

You see, it is the same way that we as parents must let our children come to the knowledge of the lessons they need to learn. We can instruct our children and tell them what's going to happened if they keep going down the wrong road, but they won't listen until they fall on their own face many times.

In the same way, God gives us His Words of wisdom in the bible, but do we really listen? Must we have to finally come to the "end of self" until we come to absolute surrender to Him, and give Him full control of our lives. Sorry to say, I did. My prayer is that we learn early in our Christian walk with the Lord to surrender all to Him.
