Jeremiah 8:8-9:26, Colossians 3:1-17, Psalms 78:32-55, Proverbs 24:27
What God said to me – You live in a “microwave” generation where people expect results in a few seconds or minutes at the most and if it doesn’t happen, you’re off to the next thing. You want a pill or a shot that will remove years of self-indulgence rather than exercising self-control and being diligent step by step to grow stronger and fitter. The same is true spiritually – there is no seminar or self-help book that can make an instant transformation in your life. Walking with Me, living like Me, looking like Me is a step by step, day by day process where when you seek Me diligently and faithfully, I transform you and renew you according to My image. There is no “magic pill” – there is My word, My Spirit, and your obedience. Begin each day by setting your mind on things above and not on earthly things, because that is where your life truly is – keep your focus there. Just as you put on your clothes each day, habitually put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. You want to look like Me – then begin to act like Me. How would your attitude and actions be different today if in everything you said and did today that you said and did it in My name?
