Romans 7:21
So I find it to be a law that when I do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
My Midas Touch is sin and chaos. I can have the closest, most pure, joyful moment with the Lord and turn right around and take my convictions and butcher them. I fail to exhibit the grace and mercy I have been given and I can almost hear the Devil giggling with glee. My nature remains sinful and it is all too easy for my eyes to slip from Him. The Devil loves my weakness and preys upon it skillfully, confusing me at every turn and disguising evil in lambskins, then salting the wounds of my sin with guilt. Yet every time I am drawn back into sweet communion, back to my safe haven, and my cup is replenished. The Lord is merciful and He delights in me and desires my attention and affection despite sinful midas touch.
