DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Instruments
Romans 6:12-14
"Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
Instruments are tools to be used, whether it is a surgical instrument, an instrument in an airplane cockpit, or a musical instrument. Each part of my body – my hands, my tongue, etc., – are instruments that can be used either for righteousness or unrighteousness. How they are used is my choice. Even though I reckon or consider myself to be dead to sin (vs. 11), these instruments will only operate through my will. "Lord, make me an instrument, an instrument of worship."
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The members of the body are instruments to be used in righteousness to God.
Have an "instrumental" day. Love you.
