Put on the new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. Colossians 3:10
I have most of chapter 3 highlighted in my Bible. The battle between the old nature and new nature rages on with every thought, action, and situation. Someday are better than others! On these days I feel like I am making real advances in becoming Christ like. But if I am real honest, I am at this point in my journey with Christ that I don’t want to just be good enough. I don’t want to just go through the motions because I should or because I have learned its what I am supposed to do as a Christ Follower. I want everyday to be fresh, new, inspiring, and challenging in the sense that I am learning to be WITH Him. These two words BE RENEWED, are words that I need to hear today.
Many times I am so busy with the next thing, that I don’t take time to be renewed. I’m sure I am not the only one. Today I am praying that God would …
- Renew my Love for Him.
- Renew my Mind.
- Renew my Passion for the Gospel.
- Renew my Calling.
Father these are the things that are dear to my heart today. Would you do a work in me that renews and restores even the deepest darkest parts of who I am . May I learn to take time to seek renewal and restoration. Let me learn, love, live, and lead in the overflow of your grace and forgiveness. In Christ Name I pray, Amen!
