Step By Step

Walking through life I wonder how we change. How do we stop doing what we should not do and start doing what we should do. Sometimes that can seem like a very long distance. It can happen where God gives us the grace to change instantly. Many times for me He has me walk it out, winning smaller victories that end up being the larger victory. That is where we find Paul in his second letter to the people at Corinth.

In 2 Corinthians 3 Paul is writing to believers who were in part struggling with who he was. He reminded them that their evidence of who he was was themselves and their hearts. The veil of blindness that covers the heart making it impossible to see Jesus in the law is removed when we turn to Jesus. The veil that covers our ability to see God is also removed, and if we keep our eyes on God, we will become more like Him, from glory to glory, being transformed. We must patiently wait for Him and call on Him daily to be transformed.

Prayer
Father, You are the Most High King of the universe. I ask that You would reach out to Your people today, and let them continue to behold Your glory. Please help us to be transformed through Your Spirit. Help us to become more like Jesus and less like who we were. In Jesus name. Amen.
