Renewed (pt.3): Prepared for God's Will

God can and will renew our strength because in doing so we are prepared to do His will. God will not send us out to do any task ill-prepared or without the proper tools. Romans 12:2 says And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. One definition of the word transform is retool. Adhering to the social mindset or standards of the world disarms us, for in this instance, we are becoming part of what we should be avoiding or even fighting. But if we change our thoughts to desire fulfilling the works of God, we will be retooled and once again be prepared to move forward in God.

There is no situation that could keep us from being renewed. The broken and the weak are still capable of the redemption and transformation of God. There are many in the Bible who were broken and weak but became whole and become kings queens, advisors, and chosen people.  It is when the decision to put God first is made, that we will be changed into the person that God will have us to be. He has placed everything, and even everyone that we need in our lives.

We are never disqualified from God's grace or mercy. Though we do not deserve it by any means, the price was paid so many years ago, all flaws considered, all words considered, all acts, all thoughts, all sins considered. To receive change we must seek change. Renewal, revitalization, regrouping-a great restart for the day, year, or life in general begins with God. We are His children and He loves us and wants us to be successful. He wants us to know that we can come to him to ask for the tools necessary to grow spiritually.

Renewed (pt.2): Provision In God's Presence

As Christians, we should be constantly seeking to renew our minds and our spirit to grow a relationship with God. As is the theme in the discussions of The Deception and the Truth, we should pray to converse with God, read the Bible to hear His answers, and then implement what we have learned to do those things that would cause us to grow. But in some instances we are asked to simply wait. Not necessarily doing nothing, but staying where we are in expectancy for a move of God in our lives, and then taking our cue and taking action. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.(Isaiah 40:31 KJV)  

God knows that we get faint and weary and tired sometimes. In the earlier verses of Isaiah 40, Isaiah asks the people basically, “Do you not know that God never gets faint himself? So imagine what he can do for you!” Isaiah assured us what God would do, back in chapter 35:

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save you.  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.  And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.  And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.  No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:  And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:4‭-‬10

Renewed (pt.1): Putting on the New Man

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:23-24

For some, December and January mark a time period of change in light of the new year. More so it marks a time of newness or renewal. As I am not one to fully agree with making New Year's Resolutions, I do however agree that there is a time for everything. So if this time of year gives birth to reflection and a desire to better or grow oneself, than perhaps it is beneficial.

The Bible speaks about spiritual renewal in Ephesians [chapter 4]. The apostle Paul informed the Christians in Ephesus of the importance of putting off the “old man” and putting on the “new man”. He even explained to them how to do it. He declared that they should put off lying, stay composed while angry, not steal, and speak healthy words. In other words, "Give no place to the devil", [verse 27], and "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God" [verse 30]. Furthermore, Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you [verses 31-32].
