<p>We&#8217;re consistently seeking betterment in our lives.  Not a bad thing by any means.  However, it always seems we go about it our own way rather than God&#8217;s way.  That&#8217;s a recipe for disaster!</p>
<p>All to often we set out with the right intentions of bettering our lives only to realize the changes implemented weren&#8217;t that great.  We like to make attempts to better ourselves with personal development tools, tips, and techniques.  We like to follow the lead of some &#8220;guru.&#8221; Or we simply start removing things from our lives that we feel shouldn&#8217;t be there.</p>
<p>Have you ever tried to remove the air from a cup?  Pretty simple really.  Just fill it with water.  One element replaces the other.</p>
<p>For me, filling my life with God&#8217;s Holy Spirit seems to do the trick.</p>
<p>Psalm 51:10 says, &#8220;Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.&#8221;</p>
<p>If I simply allow myself to become a vessel for the Master&#8217;s use, He does the maintenance and makes the changes!</p>
<p>When I make the recommendations and changes things tend to get a little loose. But when I&#8217;m able to discern His Spirit and His will&#8230;  man this vessel runs full tilt!</p>
<p>Psalm 84:11 says, &#8220;&#8230; no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.&#8221; </p>
<p>Let him be &#8221;crew chief&#8221; so-to-speak.  He&#8217;ll make the necessary changes.  And, the right changes in your life.</p>
<p>Dig Deep!</p>
