Last night's Garments

Saturday, May 24, 2025

When I was a child and my parents told me how early I had to wake up to be ready for school, I came up with a strategy. Since I wanted to stay up late and sleep as late as I could, I would get dressed in the clothes I was to wear the following day and put my pajamas over them. Then in the morning, all I had to do was take off my pajamas and I was ready to go. But the problem was, I was wearing the clothes I had slept in the night before. Many people in the Lord try to do the same thing. They wear yesterday's clothes into salvation, the clothes of the old identity, the old attitudes, the old ways, the old beliefs, the old baggage, and the old self. So the Word of God says, take off the old self and put on the new. You have that power, to actually take off the old you, and put on the new you. Do it. Because you can't enter the new day that God has for you, wearing the clothes of the night before.
