It is so easy to get distracted by the effects of the gifts from God. Like, "He fed us in the wilderness!" and then seek to make him king. He is King and it is right to make him that, but he wants it to be in relationship and through an ongoing relationship, not because you got your belly filled once.
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. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
