NorthStar Community Daily Devotional

March 29

Scripture focus: So don't you see that we don't owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There's nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God's Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go! Romans 8:12-14 The Message

While we’re acknowledging, confessing, believing, and deciding – we may grieve the loss of old creature comforts. Habits have been formed, neuro-pathways have been grooved into our brains. Things like resentment, fear, anxiety and depression have become more comfortable than an old pair of shoes.

Under stress, our brains will go on auto-pilot. We must be willing to retrain every cell in our being. Although grief is natural, what might help us is catching a vision of a new and renewed life.

There are things to do and places to go that are not accessible to us on our own, independent of God.

Dream big.
