How Do You See Things Now?
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Today’s Morsel: “The man who views the world at fifty the same way that he did at twenty, said Muhammad Ali, he has wasted thirty years of life.” Now that you are born-again, how do you see the world in which we now live? If you are still depressed, filled with anxiety, and living with low self-esteem and hopelessness, you are not living up to what the Lord has for you. You are just existing. The new birth came with excitement, equality, righteousness, wisdom, joy, peace, and a lot of love just to name a few. If you see the world as boring and mundane, then you aren’t doing something right. Perhaps you aren’t witnessing for Jesus, you are not involved in the church, and you’ve taken your eyes off the importance of taking the gospel to the whole world. Don’t ever become one of those people who say, I can’t go, or I can’t do it because I don’t have money to. You don’t need money to walk across the street and visit with your neighbor. You don’t need money to take a walk in the woods and see nature. You don’t need money to go to church and be an usher or greeter. You don’t need money to clean the church or teach a home Bible study. “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” (James 1:25) How do you see things now? Hopefully through new eyes that give life and that more abundant.
Sing: I’ve got Jesus on the inside, working on the outside, oh what a change in my life. I’ve got Jesus on the inside, working on the outside, oh what a change in my life. I’ve got Jesus on the inside, working on the outside, oh what a change in my life, oh what a change, in my life.
Thought For Today: “Therefore we
are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life.” (Romans 6:4)
