Reading: Colossians 3:9-10; Ephesians 4:22-24
Devotional: Imagine spending all day fishing, coming home covered in grime and odor, showering clean, then putting the same filthy clothes back on. Absurd, right? Yet this is what we do spiritually when we return to old patterns after encountering Christ. You are a new creation. The old self is dead. Why keep resurrecting what God has buried? This isn't about perfection—you will stumble. But there's a difference between falling and intentionally lying back down in the mud. Grace isn't permission to sin; it's power to change. Examine your life today: What "old clothes" do you keep reaching for? What sins have you normalized because they're comfortable or because "everyone else does it"? Bring them before Jesus. Confess them honestly. Ask Him to help you not just remove them, but to clothe yourself with Christ instead.
