Wretched Woman That I Am

November 17, 2022 by Lianna B. Davis in Devotional

“Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:24). I am in agreement with the Apostle Paul. Wretched woman that I am! Jesus has to remind me to steer away from the same sins repeatedly. And then, I tend to minimize my sins before Him. Finally, doubts enter my mind. And all of that adds up to my pronouncement.

Paul would not have written it if it were not true. Oh, I am glad to find a friend in Paul—not glad that we both consider ourselves wretched or that we have existed in such states. But I am glad to know that Jesus saves those in our condition. How kind and gentle a Savior He is. Truly. He firmly steers me aright.

And from this view, acknowledging more and more of my real need for Jesus, the cross appears absolutely marvelous. That God would die for sinners, while still sinners! That God would die for me! It is beyond my understanding.
