There is a familiar adage that states, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”
Imagine the difference between wearing braces on your teeth as a 2nd grader verses wearing them as an adult.
Imagine the difference between wearing braces your feet/legs as a 5th grader verses wearing them as an adult.
The bible makes mentions of adult men being circumcised. Oh, the pain of that experience!
I cannot fathom living in sin or living for years in some manner, sincerely wrong before learning the right way. My heart now understands what Paul endured. After a life of thinking he was serving the Lord, he was serving satan, killing Christians.
I pray, Lord cut back our evil, our sin, and weights before we get used to the weight, before we get entrenched in ungodly structures. After a life time of serving myself, I was afforded the opportunity to get it right. Now, I finally take on the opportunity to serve Christ through serving others.
Lord, always lead me down the paths to serve you. I need to please you. Let my heart never wax cold. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
