One of the constants in life is “change”.
And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. – 2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP
“constantly being transfigured” means changing. We have the opportunity everyday to change our attitudes and actions from what they were yesterday into what God wants them to be today. This transformation does not happen automatically and does not happen without time and effort!
The key to real and lasting “God-kind” of change is in this above verse…”continued to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror”. The more that we give ourselves to the Word of God, the more like the Word we become. This is why the daily time spent in the Word and in prayer is so important. It is not so that you can receive a gold star or merit badge from the Lord but so that you can change from what you were to what you need to be.
The ability to change comes from the Lord but the desire to change has to begin with you! Ask yourself the question, “Am I satisfied with where I am spiritually at this moment?” (this should be “no” for all of us…) Then we have to do what it takes to change. We must begin to look more into the “mirror” of God’s Word and discover all that He has done for us and order our lifestyle after His Word. Get ready for big changes!
