The Good That I Would Do
from Torah Awakenings Hosted by Mikha'el BenYa'akov
New chapter: Season 13 begins. (Season 13, Episode 1) Why do we keep praying and fasting over the same struggle, only to see nothing change? Mikha'el opens Romans 7, where Paul admits, "For the good that I would I do not," and shows that many of our battles aren't attacks from the enemy but habits rooted in our own thought life. Paul isn't cursing God's law here; he calls it holy, and it is what lets us recognize sin. Prayer is vital, but there is always a part for us to do: guard the mind, resist, and build habits of righteousness. Key scriptures (quotes from the KJV) - Romans 7:19: "For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do." - Romans 7:23: "But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind..." - Romans 7:7: "I had not known sin, but by the law" - Romans 7:12: "the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." - Romans 7:8-15, 21-22 - Romans 12:1-2: "be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" - 2 Chronicles 7:14 - 2 Corinthians 10:3-5: "bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" - Philippians 2:5: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus" - Genesis 3 and 6 (this week's parashah, Bereshit) This week, read all of Romans 7 for yourself.
