scatter seeds of justice,
and harvest faithfulness.
Worship me, the Lord,
and I will send my saving power
down like rain.
~ Hosea 10:12 (CEV)
Take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. ~ Ephesians 4:24 (MSG)
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through Christ we are able to take on a new way of living -- a way defined by God's justice and faithfulness.PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the empowering work of Christ and the new life that is ours as we put our trust in him. I look back too much toward the old life -- savoring self-indulgent moments -- then gloating over the accomplishments that have gotten me past them. I'm stuck in the past. Help be to become forward thinking and moving so that I can fully mature into the new life of Christ. I'm going to let your character define me. Amen.
