A gallon of water down the throat is not good, it’s even
worse when it comes voluntarily. Yesterday I tried to use my daughters snorkel
while swimming. It’s one made for swimming and not for scuba. I pushed off the
wall breathed out to let the water out and suck in a whole bunch of water right
away. I stopped and spent the next five minutes choking. I ended up swimming
250 yards choking and drinking way to much pool water. Maybe I need to take a
break from the snorkel.
Yet this happens in life. We try to do things a certain way
and just end up hurting ourselves in the end.
Colossians 2:20-22…
“Since
you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as
though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do
not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which
have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on
merely human commands and teachings.”
Living for Jesus is different then living for the world.
Once you make the decision to follow Christ you by choice are choosing to live
a different way of life. You don’t have to follow selfish desires that you had
in the past.
Live a different way than you have in the past. Choose a
different direction and try following Christ with how you live your life. Live
for others rather than your own selfish ambitions. How can you do this today?
Have a great day.
