This third part gels with everything else we've been talking about: BE TOTALLY READY! We already talked about two ways to be ready: #1) SO ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES and #2) PUT YOUR MIND IN GEAR... Here's the third way: Don't lazily slip back into your old grooves of evil. We have got to be vigilant and keep our relationship with HIM vibrant. One way I try to keep things fresh is by reading scripture in different translations. Another? By listening to Praise and Worship songs in Spanish. Like "Do It Again" by #ElevationWorship song in Spanish titled "Lo Haras Otra Vez"
I read another exert from the devotional found at https://www.keepbelieving.com/sermon/get-your-mind-in-gear/ by Ray Pritchard.
1 peter 1.13:16 MSG
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy.”
