Have you heard the old saying, “We have met the enemy and it's us?” In the Christian Life, sometimes our most persistent enemy of doing right is one old sin nature's desire to do wrong. Today on Monday Matters we'll listen to the words of encouragement given to us by the Apostle Paul who reminds us in Romans chapter 12 that your battle starts with you!

Have you sometimes struggled with knowing how to persevere past a problem in your life? God tells us in the book of James that problems and trials are a natural part of the Christian life. Remember that God is still able to bring good things out of bad times.
