Colossians 3:7-11 (NLT)
7 You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.
8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
11 In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
The scripture is clear, if we are in Christ, the power of Christ changes us to become more Christlike! This devo today and the scripture passage reminds me to let Christ really take control by His Holy Spirit and allow Him to change me.
I am consciously choosing to make Christ first and allow Him to change me to become more Christlike.
God bless you,
PJ

I am in the computer business and nothing changes faster than that it seems, yet I find I am resistant to change in many ways. I like things to stay the same and not rock the boat so to speak. Change is all around me and I have to learn to adapt to it. Most importantly, God is in the change business and I need to let Him work change in my life. Father, continue to work in my life. Help me to be open to needed changes and to learn to trust you daily.
ReplyDeleteGood word Rich! Recently I prayed... God change me, even if it is outside of the parameters of what I expect.
