Today's Thought
You are a new creation in Christ. God the son came in physical flesh to live a sinless life. This physical body was given to Him for the sole purpose of laying it down as a sacrifice to cover our broken, sinful nature.  What love the Father has for us, to step into brokenness to make a way when there was no way. Jesus is now exalted at the right hand of God and we await the day of His second coming. Remind yourself of this hope, daily. Remind yourself in good circumstances and in bad, that He is still faithful. He has been faithful throughout human history to send our Savior and we can continue to rely on Him fully since we have put our faith in Him for salvation. We must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly on it!  

Prayer Focus
Pray for renewed joy as you contemplate the salvation you have in Christ. You have been made new, you are no longer a slave to sin or your old life. In Christ, you stand covered, clean, whole before God. Ask God to let this truth shape the way you live today. Maybe you need freedom, healing, strength, vision, grace or something else. Make your requests known to God in light of the truth of this passage.
