Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16 ESV: So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
This world is always looking for something new. In a business meeting this week I was asked if I had something new. I shocked the prospective clients and myself with my quick and emphatic NO.
Just having something new is not the answer. The renewal we need is found on the inside and not the outside. The heart of the matter is, well, the heart of the matter. We will not find that new thing on the outside.
The answer to life is found on the inside. The Spirit of the living God is the newness of life. The light of the gospel of the glory of Christ is the light that shines into and out of our hearts. This is the light of renewal. It is His light that renews us day by day. If it is our aim to please God we will do what is right and we and others will be renewed.
Where are you seeking renewal?
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, I praise Your name and welcome Your Spirit of renewal. I am renewed by Your Spirit day by day. Help me to share this light of renewal that you have given me. It is Your light that shines out of darkness. I welcome the light of the gospel of Christ into my inner self so that Your light may shine through me. Amen
