That Which You Give In To

That Which You Give In To…

1 Peter 1:14 says, “Don’t be conformed to the former lusts.” When you give into sin, you become conformed to it. If you submit to something that’s low, you’ll become low. Submit to something higher and you’ll become higher.

You become what you give in to. If you give in to anger, you become an angry person. Give in to fear and you become fearful. But the good news is the other side. Give into righteousness and you’ll be conformed to righteousness. Giving in to holiness, starts you becoming holy.

If you start giving in to integrity, you’ll become that. If you start giving into prayer and worship, you’ll become a person of prayer and worship. You become what you give in to. Do you want to become something higher than what you are–holy and more wonderful?

Then start giving in to it. To become more like Jesus, start giving in to Jesus. Don’t be conformed to the former lust, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, by His Spirit. Give in to Him. Soon enough and sure enough, you’ll end up being conformed to His image.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your . Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

Stop giving into that temptation. But give in to the leading and impulse of God’s Spirit.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
