Does Sin Reign as I Walk Hand in Hand With Jesus?

Romans 6:12
"Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires."

Lord, I always have a choice: "To sin or not to sin...that is the question."  William Shakespeare did not invent his, "To be or not to be...that is the question."  because it is here!    You lovingly have given us free will as part of Your image in which we are made.  You could have made us like the animals, but You did not.  However; since Adam and Eve used that free will to bring sin into the world, our spirits have been at war with each other.

In "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young this morning, part of what she wrote was,:"Give your mind a rest from its habitual judging.  When you become preoccupied with passing judgment, you usurp My role.  The intimacy I offer you is not an invitation for you to act as though you are My equal.  Worship Me as King of kings while walking hand in hand with Me..."

As I have grown in You and in age, some of the sins of the flesh have fallen by the wayside.  However; the tongue and mind are still very active.  Lord, I have enough to do in my day that requires me to think and speak. Please keep me from taking on Your job of judgement!  You and You alone are the righteous judge.  My judgements without Your wisdom giving me discernment are poor at best.

This morning I worship You as the Almighty God!  In my world, if a past worthy president or the King or Queen of England had invited me to walk hand in hand with them, there would have been no question that I was the "subject" and they were the ruler.  I would not ever think of taking on their jobs or responsibilities.  So why in the world would I try to do that with YOU?
Lord, it is only by Your grace and mercy that I live and move and have my being and CAN walk with You at all!  Please forgive me and keep me from the sin of usurping Your Role in my life and the world around me.
