| Prewired to Be Imitators |
|
|
| THE SCRIPTURE |
| “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” |
| (Ephesians 5:1–2, NIV) |

|
| THE WORD |
|
Have you ever spent time with a small child or baby
and had them mimic your every sound or action? To them it’s a fun game,
but internally, they are learning by watching and copying everything you
do. They just watch and do the same thing. That’s because we are all
prewired to be imitators.
Just like little children, we are all still imitators.
So many people today end up imitating what they see in the world, on
TV, in the news and magazines. But scripture tells us that we are to be
imitators of God and follow His example of love.
If you need to change your actions today, change what
you are imitating by simply changing your focus. The more you focus on
the Word, the more you will imitate God. And when you do things God’s
way, you will get God’s results — peace, joy and blessing all the days
of your life!
