Daily devotion – you have been with Jesus….
2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Ever noticed how people can change the way they think, talk and act when they have been around someone they are influenced by? You live overseas in another country for a period of time and eventually you pick up the accent, adapt to different foods and maybe even fashion sense.
Christians are not changed by a program yet todays modern Church seems to be infatuated with never ending programs to meet the needs of the modern ‘consumer’ pampered Christian.
But Christians don’t change this way, by practice or procedure. They are changed by a Person. We are changed by being with Jesus, looking at Jesus, spending time with Him and learning about Him.
We are changed when we pray to our Heavenly Father in Jesus name and we change by worshipping Him.
Be encouraged this week to spend more time in His Word. Seize the opportunities available to gather with His Church for Bible study, praise and worship. As you do this, as you spend more time with Him, you will indeed become like Him!
Act 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.
Let people notice that you have been with Jesus!
