The New Way

Day 296

 

Dear Explorer,

 

Read John 17:13-16

 

There are two distinct ways of looking at life.  One is God's way.  The other is the world's way.  One is based on God's Word and His love and His plan for our lives.  The other is based on fame, fortune and fun.  These 2 different world views are all around you.  They influence every aspect of your life.  They influence how you shop, how you care for your body, how you treat money, how you work, how you play and what you think about before you fall asleep -- just to name a few.

 

When you become a follower of Jesus and your empty God-shaped vacuum is filled with Jesus and His Spirit begins to direct your thoughts and actions -- your whole viewpoint changes. 

 

Having Jesus in my control center changes how I view life in every aspect.  It affects the "biggies" like when our daughter became seriously ill at age 11, when our house burned, when David lost his job, as well as the everyday decisions like how to spend my day, how to interact with neighbors, and how I think about life in general.  I cannot think of any area of my life that has not changed because of His presence.

 

When we invite Jesus into our core, we become new creatures!  That may cause persecution or lack of understanding from those around us.  

 

In John 17:15, what is Jesus' specific request for us?
