Plan A vs. Plan B
Old nature vs. new nature, independence vs. dependence, willfulness vs. submission… Yup, it’s a topic we’ve been covering pretty well. I think I’m getting it.
I love the analogy of needing the CLEAR button pressed in our brains when we come to Christ. Reset? Do-over? If only. It’s a lot of work to make the change, and I’m so thankful for the way God’s Spirit works to help me.
Another example I was thinking about is that we determine who will influence us. I start out as a cup of hot water; God’s word and prayer are the stuff in the tea bag. As I choose to be in God’s word and hear from Him in prayer, the tea bag is slowly changing what I am (think herbal tea – slooooow). The longer the tea bag stays in, the stronger I’ll be.
Good news. Hmm. I think I’m off to make a cup of tea…
