A Prayer for Newness
*
Dear God,
Thank You for being the Maker of all things new. As someone who trusts in Jesus, I believe that what You say in the Bible is true. The old has gone and the new is here. I am a new creation. Today is a new day.
Help me to make good decisions and say goodbye to bad habits and bad attitudes. Remind me that I am Your child, and help me to grow in You.
When I get overwhelmed, remind me that I am Your masterpiece—that even before I was born, You created me to do good works in Your name. I pray those things come to pass in their right time.
As I begin to read and grow through these devotions, teach me to value what’s most important. Thank You for leading and guiding me.
In Jesus’s name I pray. Amen.
Based on: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Isaiah 43:18–19; Romans 12:2; Ephesians 2:10; 1:18

The Greatest Trade
*
If anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation;
the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
2 Corinthians 5:17
In 1975, in what was probably one of the worst trades in sports history, the Milwaukee Bucks traded Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the Los Angeles Lakers. Abdul-Jabbar would go on to win five championship titles and a record six MVPs. There have been plenty of other disappointing trades in the athletic world, which makes me grateful for being on the receiving end of the greatest trade in history.
When God gives us the chance to change our sin for the righteousness of Christ, He offers us the opportunity to go from old to new. From dead to alive. Darkness to light. Bondage to freedom. Separation from God to united with Christ. Lost to found. We don’t have to earn or work for salvation. Jesus paid the price for us.
When we accept Jesus, we are made right with God, and we experience the joy of a new, purpose-filled life. So live out of that joy. You have been traded to the greatest team of all: the family of God!
How does being reminded that you are part of the greatest trade of all make you feel?

We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
