As we start 2021, let’s consider something different than just the circumstances changing, consider YOU changing!
For this series, “New You”, we’ll explore 52 key verses of scripture to live by and Bible stories that illustrate them.
God’s vision is never conformation to the pattern of this world...God’s vision for you is transformation.
Transformation is a cooperative effort between you and God; you have a part and God has a part.
Three tools can help us experience this transformation.
A Light
Light exposes the truth and the truth is a very powerful thing.
We can spend considerable time and energy trying to control things that are outside of our control versus utilizing that same time and energy for the things we can.
We believe in the idea of “permissible addiction”.
We think we can manage the news or that we can manage social media, but the truth is that it can master us.
We can get anxious, hysterical, fearful, and focused on the darkness.
Worry is a slap in the face to God. It’s trying to wrestle control out of His hands. It’s a sin, but the light exposes it for what it is - just a lie.
A Map
A map gives us the benefit of perspective.
Transformation not only gives us a map to heaven but also a map to becoming more like Jesus and less like this world.
God has great things in store.
He made the map.
Our map comes with a guide. He will get us there.
A Calendar
Or maybe a schedule. This shows us our most valuable currency and how we spend it. Our routines will show us the truth about what we truly value.
Light: Give up an addiction that gives you an illusion of control that really only causes you to worry and invest that energy in the moment for God.
Map: Remember who is with you and where you’re going and who you are becoming.
Calendar: Ask yourself what routines will take you in God’s direction and then trust Him to give you all that you need.
