New Creature
- Be Ready for Quick Turns
Do you walk the walk
or just talk the talk? Saying you are a Christian means you have
chosen to follow Jesus Christ and let Him be the boss of your
life. When you ask Jesus to come into your heart, you are asking
God to teach you how to be like His Son. Be ready for God to
show you what He wants to change in you!
God knows we cannot
be perfect. He also knows that some of the changes won't be easy
for us to accept at first. As Christians, we have Holy Spirit
Power, but He needs our help. He may need to move some things
out of our way. He may want to change the friends we have, the
way we talk, or the way we spend our time. Our hearts must be
turned toward Him in order for Him to make the changes. If the
spirit is will but the flesh is weak, then we need to "FROG"
fully rely on God. He just needs us to desire His will!
Joshua Jackrabbit
was running a race with Emmi Squirrel. He was trying so hard
to win the race that he did not see the turn in the path. It
changed direction because the tree was in the way. Emmi squirrel
will help to guide Joshua on this path when they race again.
Joshua needs to keep his eyes open for the quick turns.
When we don't see
the changes that God needs to make in us, God has to show them
to us over again and again, until we are willing to be the children
of God He wants us to be. If we are New Creatures in Christ,
we will listen to God and do what He says. When we don't, we
need to ask Him to forgive us and try again.
