THE SEED
“Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature]” Romans 13:14, AMPC
Is there something in your life that you might want to end today? Perhaps it’s a sure way of behaving, habit or terrible attitude that isn’t satisfying to God? Similarly, as Adam and Eve were uncovered in their sin and needed to be dressed in the Garden, we need to dress ourselves to protect us from sin. When you “clothe yourself” with the Lord Jesus Christ, He strengthens you against temptation. How do you clothe yourself with Jesus Christ? In the same way you
cover yourself in the natural with clothing—by putting something on. You have to daily “put on” the Word of God. You have to cover your ears by listening to the Word. You cover your eyes by watching only what is pleasing to the Lord. You cover your mouth by speaking the Word and encouraging those around you. As you cover yourself with Christ, you will be strong against temptation, and you will walk in the victory the Lord has planned for you!
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for my sins. Thank You for providing a way out of temptation so that I can stand clean before You. Help me stand strong as I cover myself with Your Word in Jesus’ name. Amen.
