A sports-person who thinks of oneself to be the best in class, to be the fastest or strongest, may reduce the level of exercise and will fall behind. Assuming to have the victory in the future for sure may make the person careless or negligent.

In the same way, one of the biggest risks for a believer is to assume to be perfect already.

We have not reached the goal yet.

It is a lifelong process to become into how God wants us to be.

We are not perfect yet, but we are one the way.

Praise the Lord that it does not depend on our own efforts to improve.

The Lord already has won the victory.

Let’s pray: “Lord, help us to understand how we are.

May you prepare us and change our being into how you want us to be. Amen.”
