Upgrade

John 14:26 NKJV

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We seem to be inundated with upgrades to our computer software and even cell phone apps. We use and are satisfied with what we have but they are always making it better. Often the changes come with something new for us to learn. We can't do it the old way anymore. 

As humans, we were born as version 1.0. And we live for years learning all the Ins and outs of who we are. Many of us come alongside another and together move forward doing as we have learned. Version 1.0. 

Then we receive Jesus into our life. We get an upgrade. We are born again. A new and improved version of the same physical person. Version 2.0. 

And we just can't do things the same. We have a helper living in us who teaches us all things. No longer do we have to learn who we are and how we should act. He guides us in what we say and where we go. 

But there are still pieces if that old code lurking in us. Pieces of Version 1.0 that would love to take over. They give us thoughts like "it is okay to do this or that. It is okay to use those words. It is okay to be doing what used to be fun." Version 2.0 knows better. 

We need to run from all version 1.0 ways of thinking. We need to trust in the upgrade and follow the leading of Holy Spirit.
