- As
we grow older we seem more and more reticent to make the kinds
of changes required to really follow the Lord.
If you examine the Bible's
description of humility, you begin to see this beautiful mark
of God's character as being the immediate availability to be
changed by Him.
We know what we like, and even
without meaning to, we settle into patterns and habits that entrench
themselves in our daily function. Our methods of rationalizing
and developing numbness for certain things become refined as
the years go by, and we become quite comfortable with our lugubrious
and bulky load of junk.
The servant of the Living
God must determine daily to be standing at attention in this
area, and we should be always waiting for God to turn on the
light to reveal a way from which to turn so that we can see Him
more clearly.
We will not "arrive"
in this life.
We must eagerly continue
to be transformed, and this requires affirmative availability.
This requires the regular washing of the Water of the Word. This
requires that we present ourselves in prayer and say with our
mouths that we are available to be changed.
I need it. You need it. There
is no end in this life. The opportunities to walk in God's transforming
power are infinite, and Divinely wrought change only comes in
response to asking for it
