▲ Change requires power.
Any kind of change is a formidable challenge for most people.
Yet the Lord asks us to change from our old ways and do things His way.
Not an easy task!
▲ In your daily world, especially in this hectic instant access global culture where technology changes by the minute and you have to be adapting constantly, change is inevitable.
You are being pulled in diverse directions and the older you get the less elastic you become.
You get in the habit of doing things a certain way and become less tolerant to external demands to alter our lifestyle.
Modifying learned responses to habitual routine tasks often causes stress and anxiety, especially in older persons.

▲ However, when the Lord requires you to change your lifestyle,
He not only gives you the power to do so, but the result is a much more powerful you!
Some people say they love the Lord but refuse to make a commitment because they’re just not “ready” yet!
If only they realized that with the Lord everything goes smoothly, peacefully, and painlessly! Yes! Really!

▲ It’s your love for Him that prompts you to make adjustments .
All you need to do is lay your life before Him and ask Him to fashion you into a precious vessel for His use.
You cannot change on your own.
He is the potter, you are the clay.
The clay just lies there as a lifeless lump on the potter’s wheel while the master twists and turns it until it is just right.
All that is required of you is a willingness to want to be like Him.
▲ The more readily you give yourself fully to Him the more instant the transformation.
Suddenly they don’t seem so important any more.
When you were in the world your mind, alienated from God through ignorance and blindness, prompted you to do things your own way.
Once you know the Truth, you will want to put off all the vices and let your mind be washed by the Word.
