Daily Vitamin -"Change"

Change

Mark 1:14-15(TMSG)
¹⁴After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee preaching the Message of God:
¹⁵“Time’s up! God’s kingdom is here. Change your life and believe the Message.”


 Ever thought about when the end will be? Why don't we put into practice that now is the end. John was put in jail, Jesus went on even saying times up the kingdom is here. I'm sure people though wow He's really off his rocker now. The Kingdom of God is here it's at hand, it's in you. Lets spend our days spreading the Good news that people can live in the Kingdom Now! its not just something in the by and by. Most people don't like change in fact the resist it if we would embrace it, renew our minds daily. Think on good things as in Philippians 4:8 puts it" Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse." Change you thinking to good stuff, bad things happen to good people, but don't think the worse first. remember"Daddy God is Big Enough" to handle our stuff and to help us out if we will trust him in them.   
                  

          Resistance to change

If change and growth are not programmed into your spirituality, if there are not serious     warnings about the blinding nature of fear and fanaticism, your religion will always end up worshiping the status quo and protecting your present ego position and personal advantage--as if it were God! Although Jesus' first preached message is clearly "change!" (as in Mark 1:15 and Matthew 4:17), where he told his listeners to 'repent,' which literally means to 'change your mind,' it did not strongly influence Christian history. This resistance to change is so common, in fact, that it is almost what we expect from religious people, who tend to love the past more than the future or the present.
