The View From Above: Thoughts to Help With Everyday Life

Choose Change

Pastor Paul Stephens

That’s what you can do today!

So, how are you doing with initiating change in your life?

Take a moment to evaluate. Are you allowing things to linger that shouldn’t be? Are you still accommodating bad habits that you should be getting rid of? Are there areas in your life where you can initiate change today?

Why wait?

We often make excuses by saying, “That’s just the way I am.” But that is precisely the problem—how you are.

So do something about it.

Change takes effort. It is hard and requires an ongoing commitment. But the effort is worth it, and it is the only way you are going to become more like Jesus.

The kind of change we need is not passive. It will not just happen. You have to make it happen by making hard decisions.

Take time to evaluate your life today and make an adjustment somewhere.

A Good Place to Start

Galatians 5:22-25

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control… And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

You have to choose—and keep choosing—each of these qualities.

So today…

Choose Change!
