When we come to faith in God and repent of our sins and receive forgiveness through the shed blood of Jesus, we are “born again” as Jesus says we must be. When we begin to live this truth, we should pay no attention to the lies Satan tells us or the taunts of people who might not understand who God is, and what He has done for us. We also need to recognize that we cannot live this new life on our own, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus who is the author and perfector of our faith.
When we begin our journey, we often forget that God is with us; that Jesus knows everything from beginning to end; that the Holy Spirit lives within us to teach us and guide us on our journey. The life we are now leading may be unfamiliar and we may feel like a fish out of water, but, as we continue to follow God’s ways, and not lean on our own understanding, we will gain wisdom in His ways. We just need to settle down and trust God in everything He says we are to do and try not to figure out everything on our own. Let’s allow God to direct our path and really see how things work out.
As we improve our conscious contact with God and pray for the knowledge of His will for our lives and the power to carry it out, we will gain knowledge and nothing will be impossible for us.
Prayer: Gracious God, Please give me understanding of Your ways and all You have done for me. I want to live my life according to Your principles so that I have the right to eat of the tree of life and be allowed to enter the eternal city where You dwell. Amen
