Making Permanant Changes

Scripture Reading - Psalms 63:1 " O God,thou art my God, early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is:"

When we are making progress in our relationship with God, that is when changes begin to appear and we are being conformed into the image of Christ, we must realize that there are reasons for this change. We are given the power to change, and that power is in the Holy Spirit when we are first saved and the actual change is based on our efforts toward wanting His qualities to manifest in our lives. Things do not happen by accident. Our growth always centers on the intimacy of our relationship with Christ. In the times in my life where the most change has taken place there is a direct correlation with the closeness of my relationship with Him. When I seek Jesus above all else, everything else becomes better, I hear from Him, I live a more holy life, every decision I make, I make with a consideration of what will bring Him honor. It is when I slack off in my seeking of Him that my growth in Him becomes stagnant. Seek Him first, it will keep you progressing on the path of having His character qualities become evident in your life. Remember what got you to the point you are with Him, and if there has been a period of growth, keep on doing what you are doing. Never slack off. It is too important.

Be Blessed and Live in the NOW!!!
