Putting on the new man:

1 John 4:17 … as He is - so are we.

Romans 8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son.

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able to subdue all things unto Himself.

Characteristics of walking as a new man: Colossians 3:12-17, 23

*Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long suffering bearing with one another and forgiving one another.

*Above all things, put on love.

*Let the peace of God rule in your heart and be thankful.

*Let the Word of God dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

*And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

*And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not men…for you serve the Lord.

*Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.

*Pray that God would open a door for the Word that it might be made manifest.

Hope

We hope for a lot of things. Like hoping for the sun to shine, for a raise at work, for the kids to act right when we are out somewhere. Real hope is more than that. Hope is from God. Hope is part of God's plan. Hope is connected to a substance, and that substance is Faith! (Hebrews 11:1). Often we don't
see immediate, tangible results from our prayers, or from our own hopes. But hope, when it is partnered with FAITH, becomes a substance-something real, something measurable, or immeasurable, as we consider the vastness of the God of the universe.

There is much fear, much concern, and much worry all around us. BUT. We have hope! We serve a God who is not indifferent to our concerns, but rather a God who cares for us, and had provided the Holy Spirit to help us in every situation!

Today, this hour, ask God to infuse you with hope, so you can live triumphantly, with great faith, and with the God-given ability to share hope with others. He is Faithful, and He will do it! "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit". (Romans 15:13) Keep looking up!

Peace

The word "peace" means "freedom from disturbance; tranquility". These days, that is hard to come by, with news
reports of closures, and reports of illness, and lack of supplies. What happened to peace?

The Bible is full of references to peace. How do we get peace? How do we keep the peace once we get it? Isaiah 26:3 says "You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed (trusts, is fixed) on You because he trusts in You". Trust in the Lord is essential in both obtaining and maintaining one's peace.

Spend time in prayer, read the Word, listen to the still, small voice of the Lord in these troubling times. He cares for you. He intercedes for you. He loves you. Before He left to return to the Father, He left you a message that can be found in John 16:33. ". I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world".

Be at peace. You are loved.

Trust in Him

Mark 2.1. “It was noised about that Jesus was in the house”. Anywhere He went healing took place. He is in your house, your body. He loves to protect you and be beside you. Jesus is Lord over all diseases and uncomfortable things, We love you and are praying for your peace, your provision, and your safety.
