The Norm

Being in Florida already makes me think about the adaptions that we make. Right now, my brothers are on the couch playing NHL on the PS3. My sister-in-law is laying on the carpet wrapped up in a blanket because she's cold. Its probably 68 degrees outside and she is wrapped up in a blanket. I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt drinking an ice-cold coke. She's cold because she has been in Florida for 6 months and is use to the hot weather. Her body has adapted to the hot weather that is normal in Florida while my body is set on the cold weather that is normal in Maryland. All of this makes me thing of the adaptations that we set when living a Christian life. But instead of adapting and submiting to God, we think God will adapt to us. The bible is not a book that can be edited. The book has never and will never change. In order to live for God, and trully be his disciple, we need to change ourselves. We need to allow God to change us, just like we allow our bodies to adapt to the weather.

Luke 22:42 ⁴² “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”

Thank you and God bless,
