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)
I have been working from home the past few days and I must
admit I am beginning to enjoy it. I am
much more relaxed, and I have a remarkable peace that is over me. My classes
are in full motion and we will soon step into the competition arena as the year
moves into February. I actually had time to watch a little TV and that was just
great. I love to think that every year move into a new time of possibilities
and opportunities. We can better ourselves and improve on the year behind us. We
can try new things and we can explore more. Every year opens a window to be
more and to be better. That is why so many people make resolutions for the year
ahead. The problem is that those resolutions sometimes does not make February.
So, when we accept Jesus as our saviour and Lord we change. The
old us change into a new you and the old dies as new things start. Now just as
we need to constantly work on those resolutions otherwise, they are just mere
words and never change anything, we also need to work on our relationship with
the Lord.
I have said it before and I will say it again. It is not
easy to be a Christian. It is not easy that we follow Jesus, because this world
hated Him first and it will hate us equally. So, the ruler of this world will
try anything to perish those who follow Jesus Christ. Therefore, every day is a
battle field. Now, I said that we need to work on those resolutions otherwise
they will get lost in the rush and chaos of this world. But to be a follower of
Jesus is to be like a health fanatic. I will train every day and I will never
miss my workouts. In the same way I pray every day and I never miss my prayer
session with my Lord.
If I do not go on my knees and talk to my God, just as if I would
miss a workout, I would be a mess. God pulls me together and renews me and He restores
me, because when I pray, I hand Him all my challenges. Just as I will give everything
in my workout to work out the frustrations this world brings so that I can feel
better. The Lord fills me with His peace and His strength so that I can face the
enemy and be prepared for his mischief.
So, to be that new you every day, you need to work at it
every day in prayer in by reading God’s word. I find so much wisdom and strength
in His word and I must admit, without God I am nothing.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
