What Upgrade?
“Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.” - 2 Corinthians 13:5
Emmert Wolf once wrote, “a man is only as good as his tools.” There are certain jobs that can’t be done without specific equipment for the job. Each of us are equipped with different thoughts, personalities, and skillsets. What your friends and family possess is uniquely theirs and what you possess is uniquely yours.
However, in order, to grow, we must upgrade. Because the things you acquired yesterday may not sustain you for where you are headed tomorrow. So, the question becomes, what equipment do you need to upgrade?
There could be any number of things. It could be changing your perspective from negative to positive. It could be the discipline to spend time with Christ. It could be eliminating a dangerous and habitual sin. It might even be cutting someone out of your life that is doing more harm than good.
What upgrade do you need in your life? Maybe it is obvious, and you know right away what you need to do. Or maybe it is not so clear. That’s okay; you can pray and ask God to show you. He will clarify and give you clear direction as to what equipment you need to upgrade. Doing so is the first step in going to a new level.
2 Corinthians 13:5 says, “Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.”
Take time today to examine yourself. Ask what upgrade you need to make. It is time to upgrade your equipment, my friend! While you are waiting on God for renewal, God may just be waiting on YOU to take that first step and seek Him!
