12/31/2024 0 Comments A New Creation“Out with the old, and in with the new!” It’s fitting that New Year’s falls so close after Christmas. Before Jesus, the old way of reaching God was in our own strength, which never could be sufficient. In the person of Jesus, God reached down to us. Jesus saved us, thank God – but he was also the first example of the new creation that we can take part in.
Questions for further thought: 1. How often do you still try to do things on your strength? 2. How does it make a difference for you when you ask for God’s help first? Challenge: Think about the ways you ask God for help. Sometimes it’s just a desperate plea, and you’ve got nothing more than the cry of your heart. God hears and answers. But more often our requests are quick or perfunctory, or we think whatever we’re asking for is too unimportant. Challenge yourself to dwell in your prayer and give God time to answer.
