Copycat

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

In an attempt to fit in we, at times, copy the behaviour of people we are around. Have you ever heard of a ‘party spirit’? When we go to parties we can find ourselves behaving in a way that is not the normal us, in fact we behave like the people at the party so as to fit it. This does not improve with alcohol on board, it magnifies and becomes worse. I find women affect a posh way of speaking, it is very funny as it not the normal them. Some put on airs and start talking big words to impress, I’ve done that! 

What are we so keen to impress others, especially others who cannot lead us to more of Christ? It is Him who fills us with power and authority, not empty vessels that are making a lot of noise.

In Christian circles we can act oh so spiritual to impress. Seriously! How does our Heavenly Father see this? After all it is Him we need to impress, He holds the keys to our eternal future. Forgive us Lord!

Lord show us our ways and lead us to Your truth! Amen!
