Colossians 3:1 "Since, then you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above not on earthly things. 3 For you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you will also appear with Him in glory. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these the wrath of God is coming. 7You used to walk in these ways in the life you once lived. 8 but now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language from your lips. 9 do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on a new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of it's Creator. ". Take off the old and put on the new!!! Funny how I can be thinking I’m doing pretty good in my “Holiness” then I read things I’m supposed to be RID of and I realize how broken I still am. Yet, in Christ I keep shaking off the old and putting on the new. It’s my constant battle. In order to win the war, I need to remember the battle has already been won by Jesus on the cross! I confess, ask for forgiveness and try, try, try to change my thinking so I embrace God’s ways not mine. How are you doing in your war? Let Christ fight your battle!! He has already won the war!! Let’s walk in the newness of life He suffered and died to give us!!
