When did you take a leap of faith and how did it turn out?
Morning Devotional:
I have been keeping an eye on a house not far from the Kinship Radio studios the past several months that has been undergoing renovation. Transformation is probably a better word because this house has been completely changed from top to bottom!
Last fall, the house was torn down to the foundation and from what I could tell, the basement walls were reinforced. Next came new walls and what looked like a completely new home design, with a new garage and perhaps a split level type entry. Windows and doors were installed, as well as a new roof and siding. Our mild winter has allowed this home to take shape quickly and from the looks of things, it’s just about move-in ready.
When I was shopping for a home a couple of years ago I wanted one that was move-in ready myself – one that required as little work as possible. When it comes to spiritual renovations in our lives, we often want the same thing. We typically have the “I’m a good person, I don’t need Jesus to change me” mindset. The problem is, nothing could be further from the truth.
Romans 3:23 says that all of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. We are all in need of some repair work. Here’s the good news, though – Jesus came to do that work, and when He went to the cross, He finished it. In Him, we are made new.
