Trading in Your Old for God’s New
Good Morning. About two weeks ago, I traded in my truck for a car. I knew the engine was going out so I wanted to trade it in while I had a chance. This weekend as I was driving, the subject came to mind, “Trading in Your Old for God’s New.” I thought the title was interesting because you can look at it from so many ways. I decided to give you some scriptures with the word new in them.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV)
22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24 (NKJV)
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” 1 Peter 1:3 (NIV)
I tell you all the time that God loves us. He wants to prosper us in everything we do. We have to believe that he only wants the best for us. No matter what it looks or feels like. Have a Blessed Day!
