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, <\/p>\n
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\u2019s desires or not.<\/p>\n
Application: God\u2019s will should be my desire at all times. There shouldn\u2019t 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. <\/p>\n
Prayer My Lord thank you for my new life with You. I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
