Good lessons for life again.
When God is making changes, he uses time....he has lots of it, we don't want to change immediately usually...adjustments show times come the hard way. Job had immediate changes and then learned again from God hoe to deal with them. But in the end his life w as more prosperous than before, but not without pain...
A new habit takes 40+ days implement...
We will use new spiritual, thinking muscles a s we change.....
We need to keep watch, vigilance on the change..analyze, am I doing it right, which direction...asking God, reading his Word...seeking counsel...
Look forward, up.....don't go back....seek movement to a goal rather then looking backwards....with regret... The Israelites went toward the Promised land....not back to slavery.....Christ was always going toward the Cross, faced each day...
Use our whole body to walk straight, upright, but knees, back to flex... Don't be stiff necked...and rebel with hardened hearts, hear God's voice....be listeners, does and not hearers only....
Don't settle for cheapness....
In Proverbs, there are so many warnings against letting the world rule, cheap life.....e for the higher calling, it may cost more, but it is worth it in the end....we don't want die fools because of poor choices.....
Use the right garments......
Ephesians 4:23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
Be appropriate.....know when to use the right words, shoes, clothing...be ready....
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
And the last,.....there is always refresher courses....we have the opportunity to keep on learning to perfection comes....then we will have a whole new set of learning in heaven...it never stops....
Walk the walk....
You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’ You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint” (Isaiah 57:10).
