Great Road Trip, Lauren. 🚗🚙 Hope you’re having a good week.

I’m sitting outside, because it’s a picture-perfect twilight here. After all the wind we’ve had, this is so peaceful.

Howdy, lauren.

I probably missed you, getting here so late. :-( Been one of those days.

I hope all’s going well. Did you get to step out to enjoy the eclipse today? You were in the path.

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Lauren for this morning's thread.

Yesterday at Comanche Lake:

Raining here in Comanche OK as I type this.

How's everyone doing this morning?

Clothed in Christ

Bible in a Year :

• 1 Samuel 13-14
• Luke 10:1-24

Let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Romans 13:12

I was so excited to put on my new glasses for the first time, but after just a few hours I wanted to throw them away. My eyes ached and head throbbed from adjusting to the new prescription. My ears were sore from the unfamiliar frames. The next day I groaned when I remembered I had to wear them. I had to repeatedly choose to use my glasses each day in order for my body to adjust. It took several weeks, but after that, I hardly noticed I was wearing them.

Putting on something new requires an adjustment, but over time we grow into it, and it suits us better. We may even see things we didn’t see before. In Romans 13, the apostle Paul instructed Christ followers to “put on the armor of light” (v. 12) and practice right living. They had already believed in Jesus, but it seems they had fallen into “slumber” and become more complacent; they needed to “wake up” and take action, behave decently and let go of all sin (vv. 11-13). Paul encouraged them to be clothed with Jesus and become more like Him in their thoughts and deeds (v. 14).

We don’t begin to reflect the loving, gentle, kind, grace-filled, and faithful ways of Jesus overnight. It’s a long process of choosing to “put on the armor of light” every day, even when we don’t want to because it’s uncomfortable. Over time, He changes us for the better. .

Reflect & Pray

What does it look like to “put on” Jesus today? How does practicing Christlikeness become more comfortable over time?

Dear Jesus, thank You that You’re transforming me day by day..
