My True Self

SCRIPTURE
2 Cor 3:16-18 Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.

OBSERVATION
There is an intimacy I can only find with Jesus. Things I used to rely on in the past is obsolete, God Himself is present. Present (def): being, existing, or occurring at this time or now; current: the present ruler; at this time; at hand; immediate: articles for present use; mentally alert and calm, especially in emergencies; immediate or instant.

APPLICATION
I can rely on God always and in all things. When stuff occurs that normally would throw me off, stop and speak with God.

PRAYER
Thank You Lord for Your word today! Thank You that You care! Help me to let You in on everything in my life. I need You Lord. I pray You teach me to lean into You! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
