All Things are Made New

We are never more fulfilled than when we are walking closest to God through Christ in us. God changes our nature from carnal, earthly flesh to one full of purity, Godliness and spirituality (2 Corinthians 3:18).

He gives us a way out of every future temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). He walks with us every moment of every day, giving us His strength to go through every trail and to deliver us through it (Philippians 2:12-13).

God knows everything about each of us. We were not hidden from His sight, even when we were formed in the dark, secret place of our mother's womb (Psalm 139:13-14).

He knitted our bones and organs together in the confines of the womb. Before we were ever born, He designed all of our days and He keeps a record of each one of them in His book (Psalm 139:16).

The Lord God interlaced all of the intricate parts of our spirit, soul and body in our mother's womb. From the hairs on our head to our complex internal organs, He created us all as unique individuals.

We are awesomely and amazingly made. Our individual cells, our DNA, our physical organs, our thoughts and our emotions are all the correct mixture of chemicals, which keep them all working together so perfectly.

God loves us with an eternal love, which never ends (Lamentations 3:22). He is merciful even to the wicked, who misjudge Him and use His name in vain (Ephesians 2:4).

With our mind focused on God, we walk in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Our deepest affections are reserved just for Him. Daily, we enter His rest and luxuriate in His loving presence.

Prayer:
Father God, we thank You for the vastness of Your wisdom that is more numerous than the sands of the sea. You are with us during each new day and Your mercy is new every single morning (Lamentations 3:23). We are a new creation, sanctified with the mind and divine nature of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Investigate our motives and discern the intentions of our soul. Analyze our soul, and point out the areas where Satan can tempt us. See if there are any sinful tendencies in us and direct us in Your eternal ways. Keep us holy and acceptable to You always (Psalm 139:23-24).

Thought of the Day:
For authentic Born Again Believers, God brings to light the mysteries, which He hid from the time He created all things; when we surrender our life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ we enter the realm of abundant life, which He promises to those who love Him. - Ephesians 3:9, John 10:10
