2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Cold-blooded animals are subject to the environment they live in. To be cold-blooded is to have a body temperature that varies based on the surrounding temperature. We humans, are warm-blooded. This means that our bodies maintain temperature in spite of how hot or cold it is around us.
Our bodies do this because inside of us a certain temperature is needed so our hearts, livers, and other organs can do what they are supposed to.
So what does this have to do with God, with faith, with your life?
Well, without Christ we are like cold-blooded creatures. When things change we change, when someone gets hot, we get hot. When things are down, we are down. But when we believe in Jesus, He transforms us, our spiritual makeup changes and we become “warm-blooded”, steady, secure, and hopeful in spite of our situation.
“If any one be in Christ they are a new creature. Old things have passed away, and all things are made new.”
Let me encourage you! You were built to endure, to overcome, to love in all situations. May God’s love for you be an anchor for your soul so that when everything in life comes to a standstill, He will be the assurance that keeps you moving forward.
PRAYER: Thank you Father for your saving grace. You are the staying power for my soul! You’re the reason I won’t let situations control me. I release things, people, everything that informs my opinions. I am a new creature in Jesus name! Amen
