We can be annoyed by autocorrect, especially when we are in a hurry to text. Sometimes we try multiple times to get the one word we mean to say in the message we wish to send.
Spirituality—the wonderful walk with God—is very much like autocorrect, though it is the OPPOSITE of annoying. It is wonderful, welcomed, and valued.
 
Of course, we all sin. We all fall short of the glory of God. If, however, we keep on with sermons and scripture and reading (and midweek meditations!) and loving and living love, that is Christ’s love, the following becomes true. We become far less annoyed.
 
Think of someone you know who is close to God. Sure, they can get annoyed, but for how long?
 
APPLICATION: We have no obligation to do what our sinful nature urges us to do, writes Paul in Romans 8:2. Instead of automatically crumbling, we can autocorrect through Christ. He replaces a bad word or thought every single time.
