Your myth about change …

You may have a legitimate claim to “hating change” if …

… the primary means of reception for your television is the set of “rabbit ears” on top of your cabinet-style TV set …

… you still walk to the television and manually change channels instead of using a remote control …

… you get excited at a yard sale when you discover an eight-track cassette you haven’t yet listened to …

… every meal you eat at home is cooked on the stove top or in the oven since you don’t own a microwave …

… your coffee is brewed slowly in a coffee perculator …

… the only apple in your home is in a fruit bowl …

… you have to start your car and let it warm up at least five or ten minutes on cold mornings before heading out …

… you have to sharpen the blades on your push mower before mowing the lawn …

… your foot gets tired pumping the peddle of your sewing machine while making your own clothes …

… you like watching the rotary spin when dialing phone numbers …

… you enjoy the clicking sound of the abacus you use when balancing your checkbook …

A glance around your home likely would reveal you’ve been keeping some pace with change over the years, at least with things that make your life a little easier, a little more convenient, a little more comfortable.

It’s when change gets personal that we balk. It’s when it comes to changing our thinking, our desires, our wants, our ways to align with God’s that we argue for remaining a relic, something old from our sinful, broken past.

There are no relics in the kingdom of God!

The world is in a constant state of change, something God wants from us as well as we are changing more and more into the likeness of His Son.

“So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like
him as we are changed into his glorious image,” 2 Corinthians 3:18.
