“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” (II Corinthians 5:17, NAS)
I take a multi-vitamin supplement that I mix in orange juice and then drink. When I first starting taking this, it tasted funny—foreign. Now after several months of this regimen, orange juice by itself actually tastes weird. Our bodies and minds will adapt to things that we expose them to over and over. So, this made me ponder my relationship with the Lord.
When we first come to know Jesus as Savior, His presence in our lives seems foreign—it “tastes” funny. Maybe it seems as if He is an intruder of sorts. Then, as times goes by, we become more accustom to walking with Him and having Him by our side. We want more and more of Him and what He has for us. As with my taste for plain orange juice now, if I tried to walk through this life now without Jesus it would be foreign to me. Now, I can’t imagine my life without Him. I don’t want to navigate through anything in this life, good or bad, without my Lord. The good news is that we don’t have to. He promises to always be with us. What a comfort!
Blessings for your day, Tammy
