Colossians and stuff
Okay....I have been reading Colossians....man its a good little short book full of wisdom and guidance. I came across a particular scripture in this book and I just thought it was so good...Colossians 3:10. It is so elementary and basic and plain...but yet such a good reminder. It says.."In it's place YOU have clothed YOURSELF with a brand new nature that is CONTINUALLY BEING RENEWED as YOU learn more and more about Christ, who created this new nature within you." What this spoke to me was Jesus is the one who created this new nature within me...but it is up to me to get up everyday and put that particular "outfit" on. I could choose to put on an old outfit that is more comfortable but doesn't really look as nice. Or I could get up every morning and clothe myself with this new outfit that makes me look my best and fits just right! And the great thing is that everyday is another new outfit...because I am continually being renewed....I have to make the choice though as to what I am going to wear everyday. How do we get renewed? The word of God...reading it and getting a little food in our bellies so that we are not malnourished lacking what we need to survive and flourish...I don't know about you...but I will strive everyday to wear my best and get to know Him a little better everyday.
