Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16 (AMP)
In Psalm 51:10, David asks; “create in me a clean heart, O God,”
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
God does just that. We have a renewed spirit thanks be to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
The world is seemingly falling apart. Although I witness many of this through the media, articles and such; and though I am getting older each day, thank God through Him, my spirit soars and is renewed continuously by His grace and love.
Challenging times? With God it’s bearable.
Feeling weak? With God we are strengthened.
Feeling bogged down? With God our burdens are lifted.
Frustrated by circumstances? With God we always find a way out.
Aging in place? With God our spirit is renewed and fortified daily.
Realize the magnitude of the God we serve.
Realize the expansive capacity of His love.
Realize the intensity of His sovereign power.
Realize the infinite scope of His prolific omnipotence.
And finally, realize that with Him in our life, there isn’t anything, or anyone, or any situation that can withstand the awesomeness of God.
He is our everything and He is our all!
“My Father God, how grateful I am for Your grace and limitless mercy, You sustain, nourish, and renew my soul and spirit each day, through Your word, Your love and Your compassion, I thank You in Jesus Christ name, Amen.”
1 Corinthians 15: 42-44 (NIV)
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
