10/13 Romans 4-7

I am posting this on the 12th, but it is the reading for the 13th.  Mark your calendars!  It will most likely be the only time I am ever ahead on the reading.

Paul must have been one smart cookie.  I find myself having to read, reread and then read out loud portions of Romans in an attempt to comprehend what he is saying.  Even still, there are passages that leave me scratching my head.

What was encouraging for me in today's reading was near the end of Chapter 7.  In verses 15-25, Paul writes about his continuing struggle with sin.  If Paul, who was a super saint, missionary and apostle, struggled with sin, how unrealistic it would be for me to think that I would ever be free from that same struggle.

What are your thoughts on today's reading?
