The Unchangeable

More on the Other God
We often have a hard time with change. We want others to change their ways, attitude, behavior or opinion. We want our financial situation, our job or living situations to change. But the fact is that nothing has to change, but us; our hearts and minds. The only one who's unchangeable is God. He says, "I change not." But as for us, we can't live our lives without changing. If we don't change, we can't grow and we die. Our whole salvation starts with change, repentance, becoming a new creation; putting away the old self, putting on the new and growing in maturity. Being born again is change. You're the only thing you have to make sure changes and nothing else, not your situation, but you. We have no control over anyone else's change, just our own. Open your heart, your life, your will, and your mind today, so you can change and become more like Him and be changed. Be a change for God. For God is the only One who changes not. That's His job to change not, and He shouldn't. But your job is to change.

Today's Mission
Examine yourself in light of God's Word. What doesn't line up? Open your life up to change - and start changing today!

Romans 8:6
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND!
