Mt 6:27 [Amplified Classic]
And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life?
STOP IT!!!
Stop accepting your status quo as “who you are”. God’s intention is to sanctify you, which implies progression (aka “progressive sanctification” = Phase 2). A life of anxiety is NOT God’s will for you! Break free by living in the “NOW”.
“for you have died”
Your old life is gone. Any mistakes you made yesterday are to be buried with the old self. Any plans you made yesterday about your future are buried with the old self. The Lord God desires that you live in the “NOW”, for that’s who you are now.
Rom 6:2 [Amplified]
How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer?
“forgiving each other”
Slavery to the past is fed by unforgiveness. An unforgiving heart keeps a person in bondage. Forgive so you can let go of the past and live in the now!
The Right Tool for the Job – 10/8/21
“Love is the right tool for every job.”
“whatever you do”
This means everything. Do not worship idols you crafted when you weren’t even a believer! This includes idolatrous concepts, philosophies, and ideas such as those in the past/future.
“keep yourselves from idols”
Idols are very commonly concepts and ideas that we cling to that supplant the Lord’s rightful place in our heart.
