God
has chosen you to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this
mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim him,
admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present
everyone perfect in Christ.
Colossians
1:27-28
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Christ
lives in me. Until I can become completely like him through the power of the
Spirit (2 Cor 3:18), he lives in me. Until I can go home to be with him he
lives in me (John14:1-21). Everywhere I go and everything I do, he is with me.
MY PRAYER...
O
God, may the presence of Jesus within me stir me to your work today. May your
abiding grace, through the presence of your gracious Son, call me to your
character and your concerns. O Jesus, please make my heart like our Father's.
Amen.
GET READY FOR THE
“NEW”
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“And
no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst
the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined”
(Luke
5:37, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD
Are
you ready for a new chapter in your life? In order to move forward into the
blessings God has for you, you have to be willing to let go of the old. The
things that are behind you are not nearly as important as what is out in front
of you. It’s time to get ready for the “new”!
You
may have had some unfair things happen, things that you don’t understand. But
let me tell you, you have come too far to stop now. Instead of allowing those
things to hold you back, why don’t you let go and take a step of faith into the
new? It’s time to get a new, bigger vision; it’s time to get a new, fresher
outlook; it’s time to rise up with a new attitude! Instead of settling where
you are, pick up and move forward. Have the attitude that says, “I may not
understand it; it may not have been fair, but I am not getting stuck on this
page. I know God has a new chapter for me — a chapter filled with blessings,
favor and victory!”
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father
God, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Today, I choose to trust You
with my past, present and future. Give me wisdom to discern the seasons of my
life and teach me to embrace the new things You have in store for me in Jesus’
name. Amen.
