Sometimes I make following Jesus more complex than necessary.  The Apostle Peter suggested that it involves a proactive positive step and a proactive boundary-setting.

So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.  I Peter 1:14 NLT

The proactive positive step—living as God’s obedient child, submissive to the words of Abba.

The proactive boundary-setting—not slipping back into my old way of living to satisfy my desires since, as Peter says, I know better now.

These are simple commands impossible without the power of the Holy Spirit.  Join me this week in proactive living.

 

Sharing the journey with you,
