Sæktu forritiðThe Biblical Benefit Of HindsightSýnishorn
Whilst our life in Christ is not a self-improvement course, nor is it akin to taking golf lessons with the purpose of getting ‘better’; we can sometimes feel like we’re not emulating Jesus’ life and commands any more today than we were when we first became Christians. We still sin, still have evil thoughts, still struggle to love our neighbour and so on. Yet Paul promises us that this is not the case. That through the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, we are becoming more like Christ every day. And we know that we will be made complete in Christ on that final judgement day!
Do you ever feel like you’re ‘failing’ at being a Christian? That you’re not changing to be more Christ-like?
Pray: Dear Lord God, thank you that through the power of the Holy Spirit you are changing us every day to be more like Jesus. And help us to hold on to this each day as we seek to live as our Lord and Saviour commanded. Amen.

About this Plan
The irritating benefit of hindsight is that it is often easier to see why we should have listened to biblical wisdom when we suffer through trials and difficulties. The one thing I keep learning is that the wisdom was there all along; I just needed to look for it. It is one thing to have faith in your head. It is quite another to live out that faith in your heart, day by day.
