“THE LORD IS THE RISEN ONE who shines upon you always. You worship a living Deity, not some idolatrous, man-made image. Your relationship with GOD is meant to be vibrant and challenging, as HE invades more and more areas of your life. Do not fear change, for GOD is making you a new creation, with old things passing away and new things continually on the horizon. When you cling to old ways and sameness, you resist GOD’S work within you. GOD wants you to embrace all that HE is doing in your life, finding your security in HIM alone. It is easy to make an idol of routine, finding security within the boundaries you build around your life. Although each day contains twenty-four hours, every single one presents a unique set of circumstances. Don’t try to force-fit today into yesterday’s mold. Instead, ask GOD to open your eyes, so you can find all The LORD has prepared for you in this precious day of Life.” – para-phrased “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” MATTHEW 28 : 5 – 7
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 17
Prayer: God open my eyes to see all you have prepared for me today. Thank you for a new day, where you give me new mercy and grace and daily bread. Thank you for your precious love. Help me to love others that way. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
