Changed from glory to glory

Day 6: Changed from Glory to Glory

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." — 2 Corinthians 3:18

Psalms 1:1-3, Lamentations 3:22-23, Philippians 1:6

Change doesn't happen overnight. When God decides to change something in our lives, it usually takes time. But we should keep changing by learning God's Word every day. We allow God to transform us from glory to glory by continuously reading and understanding his word.

"As he beholds," we become that. When we let the Word of God transform our minds, we allow ourselves to be changed. Just like a tree, we are planted by the rivers of water. We will bear fruit when God's word constantly feeds us. "And his leaf also shall not wither" Psalm 1:2.

God continues to change us every day. We may not notice the difference in our lives. God continues to provide for us, and "his mercies are new every morning" (Lamentations 3:23). He will continue to complete the work he started in us. "Him who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6

Take-Away

Make sure you are spending time with your Bible every day. You don't have to start at the beginning; you can pick any book that interests you.

Now that you're finished with this lesson, take time to think about how your life has been transformed. Maybe you noticed that you are more patient or forgiving. Whatever change you saw, allow yourself to celebrate what God has done in you.

Tell someone how God's word has affected you. Someone else needs to know that God's Word is alive and still changing lives.
