Woohoo! This is one of my favorite verses. I love the messages packed into it...but we'll get to that in a minute. First I want to tell you about my yearbook pictures during elementary school. Other than different clothing styles, they looked a lot like yours did. I got a little older in each one and there were subtle differences here and there. The most dramatic difference was between 4th and 5th grades. A few genetics must have kicked in and I added some solid weight to the same height body. In other words, I went from an average sized kid to a chubby kid.
This great verse reminds us that, just like our year book pictures showed physical changes, we are changing spiritually. Sometimes it's a gradual and constant change and sometimes it's a dramatic change. But we are always changing. God is at work in us to make us look more and more like Him. But you can't see these changes in a regular picture. We would need a camera that can see our hearts. Looking more like God is all about the change IN us.
- How have you seen yourself change on the inside to look more like God?
- What do you think is the top thing God would like to change IN you right now? Pray and ask Him to focus on that thing and make the change.
