Change, Change, Change....

You know change is hard… people don’t like change, in fact most people wont change a way of doing or thinking things even if a it helps them later in the long run. And to be honest I know men are the biggest protestors against change its in or DNA I think.

Anyway recently I found myself falling into this mind set and it was affecting my growth as a Christian. I found myself not reading the bible as much because I was afraid of finding something that challenged my thought processes and would force me to change the way I thought and did things.

Well, one day while driving around town I heard the Lord in my heart tell me… “You are the clay” and I wondered what he meant by that. So when I got home I went into my office and started studding some scripture and he say it again… “You are the clay.” Well after reading about Gods guidance and leadership the revelation hit me full on, the lord told me in clear detail that, “You are the clay and I am the potter, the clay doesn’t come to the potter telling him how he wants to be made. In the same way you cannot come to me with fear that I will change you or change the way you think of something. Remember I am the Sheppard and you are the sheep.

After I got this word I researched it in the bible and found scriptures like Hebrews 12:6 when it talks about God disciplines those he loves and John 15:1-8 when Jesus said that God prunes us for greater production.

I suppose I was falling into this no change mindset because I was afraid that if Jesus was changing the way I thought or did something that meant he was upset with me and I was sinning by doing wrong. But then that still small voice again said to me, “You doing something wrong doesn’t mean you’re not right with me… it’s the continuance and ignorance of the wrong you’re doing that makes you not right.”

So I encourage you all to take inventory of yourself like the bible says and see if you are not for change. Its cool if you won’t change on things like how you cook or how you get to work, but do not be like me and let that non-change attitude fall into spiritual matters.

Let God lead, prune and discipline you always.
