Inspiration for the day…
Colossians 3:5-10 (NLT)
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
I want to point out this last verse! There are so many things in life that we have to face and struggle with in our daily lives! We are not always going to hit the mark BUT look at verse 10(bold)! Put on your new nature, and be renewed as YOU learn to KNOW your Creator and become LIKE Him!
We will not become Christ-like overnight!!! So quit worrying about that thing that keeps stirring in your life, that thorn in your side…yes you want it gone but look! Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you LEARN to know your Creator! Seek Him, develop a relationship with Him! That is what He desires and the rest will come. As you grow closer to Him through prayer and reading of the Word you will learn to be like Him! But you have to PRAY & READ!
