Good morning.
We constantly find ourselves being confronted with the prospect of change. It is said that change is the new normal.
Paul, however, says that we can live better than normal in Romans 12:2 when he says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
When we keep in step with Holy Spirit we will find that:
• Normal conforms to the world, but better than normal renews the mind.
• Normal gives into temptation, but better than normal trusts God for a way out.
• Normal gratifies fleshly desires, but better than normal walks by God’s Spirit.
• Normal gives in to worry, but better than normal prays for strength and guidance.
• Normal ignores sin, but better than normal repents and receives forgiveness.
A better than normal life will be the result of a life lived for Him. Never lose sight of this fact: "if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you." (Romans 8:11)
"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." (Romans 6:4)
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
