Ephesians 6:10-13 NASB instructs us to put on the full armor of God so that we can stand against the schemes of the devil. But in order for this armor to be effective, we must first allow God to change us from the inside out. It takes bravery to surrender our old ways and embrace the changing power of God.
Embracing change begins with recognizing our need for change.
We must acknowledge that, on our own, we are not equipped to face the challenges and temptations of this world. Only through the power of God and His changing work within us can we overcome.
Surrendering control is a key aspect of change.
We must be willing to let go of our old ways and allow God to mold and shape us into the person He desires us to be. This may be uncomfortable, but it is necessary for growth and change to occur.
Trust in God's plan and purpose for your life.
As we submit to God's changing work, we can trust that He is molding us into the person He has designed us to be. His plan and purpose for our lives is always for our good, and we can be confident that, in the end, the change will be for our benefit and His glory.
By embracing the power of God's change, we can be brave enough to overcome any obstacle and stand firm in the face of temptation. Let us trust in God's plan and purpose for our lives, surrender control, and be changed by His power.
