Another Day
Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to
this world, but be
transformed by the renewing
of your mind, so
that you may prove what the
will of God is, that
which is good and
acceptable and perfect. (NASB)
As children of the living God, we should
strive to live each day according to the good and perfect will of our God in
Heaven, especially if we desire true peace and lasting joy while traveling
through this difficult leg of our life-journey.
We must do this because the sinful ways of this fallen world with all
its contemporary thinking and worldly system of values is being dominated and
directed by the Prince of Darkness, the devil.
It is a self-seeking system of pleasing the sinful flesh that only
focuses on the here and now of living for the moment and denying any
consequences. And the only way to escape
its grip and renew our minds and hearts is through the saving power of the God,
who opens our eyes and softens our hearts so we can know the Truth and His
will. Most of us, through no fault of
our own, are taught the world’s views of this life, and if the world view is
all we know, then it is the world view that we are most inclined to follow—a
system that slowly digs the grave of eternal darkness that separates us from
the goodness and Light of God.
Sadly, but true, it doesn’t take long to
discover that to survive in this harsh and unfair world is to harden our hearts
and indulge in things that numb the pain of emptiness that comes with the
fleeting pleasures of this fallen world.
Even though God created within the fiber of our beings the moral
difference between right and wrong, it is impossible for us to overcome our
fallen nature to rebel against God’s moral standards without His help, because
all we know is our love of sin. Even
though we may want to do the right thing, our sinful desires often trump’s
it—choices that often lead us down a path of self-destruction and eventually
eternal judgment. The Truth, my friend,
is that we have all been fully acquitted of our sins by the sacrificial blood
of Jesus, if we so desire. You have a
powerful Helper that empowers you to live a new and better life, one that is
not only pleasing to God and those around you, but you will gain a glorious new
purpose that will fill your heart with the eternal peace and joy of the Lord;
the kind of peace and joy that will give you the strength and wisdom to face
another day with anticipation and eternal hope.
A Whisper
of Hope
My will, dear child... is
to gives you a hope and a future unlike anything the world can promise. The world leaves you empty, disappointed and
hungering for more. Don’t believe the
lies the world embraces, because this life is short and next one has no
end. Rise above the temporal and embrace
the eternal, for in Me you will live, in the world you will die.
2 Corinthians 4:4
Satan, the god of this
world, has blinded the minds of those
who don’t believe, so they
are unable to see the glorious Light
of the Good News that is
shining upon them. They don’t under-
stand the message we preach
about the glory of Christ, who is
the exact likeness of
God. (NLT)
from all guilt
and declared right with God.
(Acts 13:39)
