7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so. Hebrews 13:7-9
Do you remember what you were like yesterday? Were you much different today than you were yesterday? As we go through our walk in life, God wants us to come closer to him and to live a righteous life. If you were the same today as you were yesterday, how can you be better? Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. If we want to aspire to be more like Jesus, then we need to work on being better each day. We are not perfect and that is OK, and while Jesus’ sacrifice atones for our sins that does not mean we keep sinning, but we become better individuals every day. These types of steps to righteousness can be taken in small steps each day. Maybe it's a kind word you share with someone, perhaps it's spending time in God's word, possibly it's strengthening that relationship with God while you are in prayer, or perchance it's making a life change that is necessary because it's impacting you and your family too much in a negative way. We can't change overnight, but we can change what we did yesterday by not following the sinful path. Look back on yesterday and see where you can make a change to be better.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
