Day 80

2 Corinthians 5:17 ~ “Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence.” (GWT)

Have you ever heard (or used) the phrase, “God ain’t through with me yet?” It seems to me as though this is an excuse to continue with behavior that is unacceptable to God. We are all a work in progress; He is changing hearts and minds everyday. You being stuck in that same sin pattern (lying, gossiping, cursing, etc) indicates YOU are not working in Him! I want to remind you today that we are not the same people we were before Christ, so we can’t continue to live (and act) that way. If you told God you’re not going to commit that sin anymore, then don’t. Pray and ask Him for deliverance and try your best not to do it. And don’t allow yourself to be put in situations where you might commit that sin. When you sin and then try and justify it by saying He’s not through with you, it gives God a bad look. How can you expect to convert an unbeliever if you’re still doing the same things you did before you were one? God is not through with us yet, and I thank Him for that! We deserve for Him to turn His back on us, take away His love and forgiveness. But He doesn’t. Let’s not repay His kindness by refusing to become the person He has called us to be. He has so much in store for you; are you willing to make a change to receive it?!
