It's a NEW Day!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone and the new has come!”
There are so many people today, so overwhelmed by things,
mortgages, relationships, businesses, etc. that the idea of new can seem a bit
unreachable. Say something positive today...say it out loud; "it's a brand
new day!"
So many folks have already adopted the idea that mediocrity
and “used” is just the way it is and they settle for that as "good
enough". Let's not dwell on good enough. Let's look to a God that is MORE
than enough!
A big market for consumers in this economy is engaged
through items that are “refurbished or reconditioned”.
The first thing we must realize is that when Christ makes you new, it is not
the same as being refurbished (i.e. to restore something to good
condition:usable) or reconditioned. You are not simply “repaired”. When Jesus
comes to live in and through us, when we ask Him to be our Lord, we are “born
again”. Spiritually speaking it is as if the life we had previously lived is
gone and we are birthed into a brand new one.
Thank God it’s a brand new day! Use yours wisely:)
