Do you ever find yourself resisting change? I never thought I would struggle with this, but I must admit, change becomes harder the older I get. I say, “I can’t believe that is accepted today!” Or, “It just seems like life used to be so much simpler.”
In this sermon series we find ourselves in at the time, we are being challenged to change. Change our disciplines; change our thought process; change our outlook on life.
Richard Foster, in his book Celebration of Discipline, says, “To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives. The closer we come to the heartbeat of God the more we see our need and the more we desire to be conformed to Christ…"
How has your week started off? If we will give up a little piece of our time, the Lord will bless our time with Him.
As we continue in this series of lessons on Sundays, could I ask you to think about the one thing that needs changed in your life that might set you free from the past and give you a look to the future? Have a great day in the Lord!
