“Though our bodies are dying, our Spirits are being renewed every day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16
As we begin to age, we become very familiar with looking in the mirror and seeing a picture of a body that no longer reflects the strength of a young person. It shows the wear and tear of the years of our lives on this earth. It shows the wrinkles that reflect the struggles we have encountered in this life. It shows a human body that is slowly, and sometimes quickly, dying and fading away. However, 2 Corinthians 4:16 encourages us to not lose heart as we watch this process happen to our bodies. What is important is the spirit that is inside of us. It is our spirit that is renewed each day when we give our lives to God and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We never grow old when our spirit renews. It becomes new each and every day. God in heaven has poured out his Spirit on his people and he is working powerfully through each of us to show the world around us how real and mighty and good Jesus is. As our spirit is renewed daily, we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our lives. We find a peace and joy in every situation we encounter while the world struggles with worry and concern about the events happening around them. We go to the Word for our answers and the Lord our God comforts us through prayer and meditation. He loves us and has promised to take care of us. With that promise we can renew our spirit daily with confidence that no matter the situation we will be victorious in Jesus! JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
