Renewal

Renewal is a law of God.

2 Corinthians 4:16b
KJV: "...Though our outward man perish, yet the
inward man is renewed day by day."
AMP: "...Though our outer man is [progressively]
decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is
being [progressively] renewed day after day."
NCV: "Our physical body is becoming older and
weaker, but our spirit inside of us is made new
every day."

Quote from the Card Scripture Meditation:
Renewal is a law of God. We renew our bodies
each day by eating food. The Word of God is our
spiritual food. We need to renew our minds in
the Word of God.

Our Father doesn't want us to renew our minds
occasionally. II Corinthians 4:16 tell us to
renew our minds on a daily basis.

If we obey these instructions from God, we'll
continually change our thinking to think more
and more like He thinks. "...be constantly
renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a
fresh mental and spiritual attitude]..."
(Ephesians 4:23). The Amplified Bible

Ephesians 4:23
NCV: But you were taught to be made new in your hearts.
KJV: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

Dorothy: What this means to me?
It just made me realize that God wants us to stay connect
with Him every day. This is why Holy Spirit continues to
be with us day by day, keeping us in contact with the
Father and Jesus Christ. It made sense when Jesus said,
"Men ought always to pray" (Luke 18:1). It means "stay
connect with God." He loves us that much to stay connect
with us. May the Lord bless you today.
