Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.
A Time to Refresh and Renew, By Karen Rowe
Yesterday, was a 9-9 work day ~ cleaning & painting a house we can only describe as filth … But as I was cleaning & later painting, the Lord gave me a powerful message to share!
Thoughts come to my mind, I could not share the pictures of the horrid condition of THIS house … the thought continued, because no one would want to live in a house knowing how filthy the condition was…
BUT THE LORD spoke to my heart as I was cleaning; and said, YES THEY WILL, BECAUSE it is NOT the same! It has been MADE clean!
Then the Lord was opening my eyes to see the cleansing power of God in us – the Blood of Jesus washes our sins away, like the water took the filth and grime away!
Have you ever noticed how water can hold dirt & still run clean? It was an amazing time WORKING AS this transformation took place!
Friends, as Paul wrote to us!
My purpose, then, was not to write about who did the wrong or who was wronged. I wrote to you SO THAT in the sight of God YOU COULD SEE …
2 Co 7:12 NLT
Your Value!
So that …
You could see your value!
Paul writes to us
Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us WORK TOWARD COMPLETE holiness BECAUSE we fear God.
2 Co 7:1 NLT
Paul wrote to a higher purpose; This letter is not to the world, but the church. FOR godly sorrow WORKETH REPENTANCE TO SALVATION not to be repented of(freedom IN Christ): BUT the sorrow of the world worketh death (10)
Did Paul’s letter cause some offense?
Read on to see what Paul saw!
Friends, as the Lord showed me, not everyone knows how to clean – IT’S by ONLY JESUS & BY the power of the Holy Spirit – gifts of Wisdom, knowledge with Understanding & working in tenderness and care …
God pays attention to details, as the corners and trim call attention to what is clean & what is not…
Jesus renews our mind, soul & spirit, some rebuilding takes place – like clay…drywall mud, corner bead, … and consider the power of paint!
In closing, please read this Chapter in the Bible that God has waiting on you … and think of how incredible paint is cover, seal, refresh & renew!
Now think on Jesus ♡ and the relationship you have btw God & you ????
Holy Spirit encourage the readers today. Lift our minds higher to God’s Thoughts. Bless those who will receive. And, keep molding our hearts to be always ready to bloom for the glory of God to be a blessing to us all.
and pray …in the Spirit of the Most Holy God. God knows what He is doing.
Love in Christ,
