True Colour

For His eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps.


Job 34:21



Today's Bible Reading: John 3:1-18.


There is an old story about a pig. . . . The farmer brought the pig into the house. He gave her a bath, polished her hooves, put some Chanel No. 5 on her, put a ribbon around her neck, and put her in the living room. The pig looked fine. She made a nice companionable pet for a few minutes. But as soon as the door was opened, the pig left the living room and ran out into the farmyard, jumped into the first muddy pool that she could find. Why? Because she was still a pig at heart. Her nature had not been changed. She had changed outwardly, but not inwardly. . . .


You can take a man—dress him up, put him in the front row in church, and he almost looks like a saint. He may fool even his best friends for a while, but then put him in his office, or in the club on Saturday night, and you will see his true nature come out again. Why does he act that way? Because his nature has not been changed. He has not been born again.


For real change in our life, we need to be transformed, we need to be saved, we need to be born again, and for that to happen, we need to know the Lord Jesus as our personal Saviour.

Prayer

Almighty God, there are times when I debase my Christian walk and slip again into the mire. Cleanse and strengthen me, for Jesus' sake. Amen.
