Great analogy

My daily devotional the other day was awesome. Beth Moore likened staying in the will of God to learning another language. Fluent though we may seem to bein another language, if we are still thinking in the first language, this is where our head is. Our native tongue is sin and with all we learn, if we are still thinking in our native tongue of sin, divine viewpoint in life is going to escape us. From talking to Carrie, a serious student of German for years as well as a visitor to the country and teacher, I wonder how often she thinks and dreams in German. The times I know that she has, she's been just back from visiting - immersed. I guess that's what we have to be - immersed in Him and His Word to start to make it all comfortable to think with the mind of Christ. Lots of work to do.
