believers, have already "put off your old self" and already have "put on the
new self". It appears that both of these actions are commands and are in the
past tense.
The dilema for me is that I look at my own life through my eyes and I see
the "old self" staring back at me in the mirror of my mind. But God's Word
says that I AM the new self that was created by God. What does this all mean
to us today?
Well first we must chose whether or not we are going to believe God's Word
or my view of my life as seen through my eyes.
Second, since I chose to believe God's Word I do not see the events and my
actions today, or yesterday for that matter, as anything more than God at
work doing that which is best for me.
Remember that Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote that "for those who
love God ALL things work together for good."
So my encouragement for you today is to keep looking for God's activity. You
can depend on our Almighty God.
