Assuming that you, like most people, want to live a better life – whatever that means to you – what would you be prepared to change to make it happen? Twentieth century American billionaire, Howard Hughes, wanted success, happiness and a better life. Yet he refused to address his worsening mental health and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Despite his immense wealth, paranoia and a fear of germs led him to become a recluse, isolating himself in dark hotel rooms. Instead of confronting his issues and seeking help, he allowed his fears to rob him, proving yet again that wealth and ambition are meaningless unless we're prepared to confront our demons. 2 Timothy 1:9 God saved us and chose us to be his holy people, but not because of anything we ourselves did. God saved us and made us his people because that was what he wanted and because of his grace. That grace was given to us through Christ Jesus before time began. It's good news … great news, in fact … that God sent Jesus to this earth to save us from our sin. It's a message of grace and forgiveness. Hallelujah! But would you please notice His purpose in doing so: God saved us and chose us to be his holy people. Holiness means being set apart, being pure, leaving our failures, our foibles, our demons behind. The new life that God offers is … yes, based on His grace, but it involves change. Change for good. What do you need to change, what are you prepared to change, to lay hold of your new life in Christ? That's God's Word. Fresh … for you … today.
