I’ve Been Born Again
Scripture 1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,
Observation: When I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior twenty-three years ago, I was born again. The first time I had no choice of being born, but this time it was a decision to follow Christ. This choice has eternal consequences and instead of making wrong decisions God has given me His word to follow. Now I know what is right and what is wrong, but I still need to decide to follow God’s desires or not.
Application: God’s will should be my desire at all times. There shouldn’t be a conflict, my desire should always to do the will of my Father. I need to weigh each decision I make to make sure it honors my Lord. I messed up my first life without God and now have been given another opportunity which I need my Lord to guide me each day to stay on the path that He has chosen for me.
Prayer My Lord thank you for my new life with You. I’m still a sinner and need your guidance each day. Continue to place on my heart your will and desire for this life and that I will give it to you as a living sacrifice and that it will be holy and pleasing to you.
