“Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.”
—Romans 13:14
I like comfortable clothes. Most of the time you’ll find me wearing jeans because they’re comfortable. I don’t like starched shirts. When I send my shirts to the cleaners, I specify “no starch.” Unfortunately, for one of the cleaners we previously used, “no starch” meant “extra starch.” I would put on these shirts and could barely move in them because they were so stiff. That’s not the kind of clothing I want. I want clothes that move where I move.
That concept applies to the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 13:14, “Clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ” (NLT). The phrase means to prioritize His views and His interests and to imitate Him in all things. But Paul makes it seem as natural as putting on a shirt. Just as your clothing goes with you wherever you go, so should Christ. Let Him be a part of every aspect of your life, from the time you wake up in the morning until the time you go to sleep at night.
