I am certain we can all agree that a life-threatening storm, a demon possessed man, a 12-year health crisis, and the death of a 12-year-old girl are distractions that overwhelm with discouragements! No doubt many here feel surrounded by distractions and discouragements. Take note of the Lord’s admonishment in verse 50 – Do not be afraid, only believe!
The fact of the matter is this kind of godly character begins with our mental rehearsing that eventually translates into our daily choices. So, it is our godly rehearsing that forms godly desires that translates into godly choices that will form godly habits, and then eventually, godly character becomes a reality.
If we would be totally honest, the idea of transformation really scares us. That is because we know that such a radical change would be quite uncomfortable and very challenging. Genesis 32 tells us that Jacob’s life was transformed. His life took a powerful turn when he finally stopped running away, turned to God, and prayed! Do you know the power of transformational prayer?
The list of changes could continue to be rehearsed for days to come and the impact of these changes will be felt for generations to come. The fact is change is inevitable. However, the change with the greatest impact is not enabled via technology. The change above any possible change is only found in Jesus!
