Our Default Position

You know what a default position is. It's what the settings on your computer return to when you exit a program that's running. Why does it do this? You programmed it to. When you close a program, the little guys inside the box scurry around to paste the default picture on your screen. Works every time. It's automatic!

Oh, that we might have such a button in our life. But, it's available! Although installing a program into a hard drive is a quick task, installing a "program" into our psyche is a process. We must "be transformed by the renewing of [our] mind," renewing the way we think (Rom. 12:2). We are exhorted to "practice [to] have [our] senses trained to discern good" (Heb. 5:14). The more we "reinstall" Christ is my life and my ID in Christ, the more these will become our default position. What a way to live!
