Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praise. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. EVen their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Becuase of this, sinful desires, sexual impurities ... these things that perverse and invade our minds take us away from the very truth that God has given us, Himself. Everyday, and i mean EVERYDAY i sin, and on my heart its tough. Thinking that ive exchanged the best for the worst not saying that when the time comes it will be right but thinking of it now, God needs to be my first priority. When i look at this chapter and the heading for these particular verses it says Gods wrath against mankind. When i read that and think of wrath at the smae time i imagine like an unbelievable pain, maybe a pain that involves bloodshed and millions of people. But in a way the wrath that Paul talks about in this chapter is the wrath that God gave them over to their sinful desires. We have control, and we have screwed it up. We have fallen into a trap and we cant get out. I know that in my life ive fallen into so many traps, even now ive fallen into a trap, maybe one that i cant get out of bceause of my own pride, selfishness but in some way i know that as i grow closer to the heart of the Lord, i know that i wont live to please myself or put mysefl up but to raise him up through the relationships we have etc.
Application; let go of my own pride, who needs it. WOrk it.
Sigh,
