2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ, he is a NEW creation; the old has gone, the new has come..."
It is a new year;
the old has gone. New Year's resolutions are often broken before they
ever begin. Let me see, I hope to lose weight (again), be more
organized (again), and well; you get the picture, don't you? Already,
my year holds doubts and fears. I am filled with feelings of
inadequacy.
Many of us live in
what I call "Moses Moments". I pray for God's guidance, but
just as Moses had fears of doubt when he led the people out of
Israel, I too become insecure and frightened.
But God told Moses,
"I will be with you."
It would have been
nice if the story of Moses went like this, "And Moses led his
people safely out of Israel to the land of milk and honey and they
lived happily ever after..." But we know it was a forty-year
ordeal.
While our
sanctification process might be a long painstaking process, praise
God our salvation is not. Salvation reminds us that our old self is
gone and we are now a NEW creation. Done. Period. Sealed at the
Cross-, regardless of our Moses Moments.
Having a Moses
Moment just reminds us of who we are and who HE is...
Praise Him!
