Change the Way you Think
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. – Romans 12:2

God Still Does Miraculous Things
By Hope McCardy & Rashad McCardy
That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.
– Romans 4:17
What is “dead” in your life? Do you feel defeated by the many storms and trials? Are you thinking, How long do I have to deal with this? Or, When will it all end? Will I ever…?
We’ve all been to this woe-begotten place at one time or another. Some of us are there right now! (Can I get an “amen?”)
But God.
Only He can take what is “dead” in our lives and revive it by breathing new life into it. Yes, and only He can open up brand new doors.
In other words: When we choose to turn to God, He makes a way where there is no way. He can bring back something that was long “dead” to much better than it was before.
My Prayer
(Pray for your husband and children as well)
Gracious Lord, help me to remember Your everyday faithfulness to me. Set off an alarm in my heart that reminds me that nothing is impossible with You – that You can do anything!
Stir in me an authentic comprehension of the truth of Your Word: that You still bring “dead” things back to life and create new things out of nothing as today’s verse teaches. Thank You for the tremendous privilege of being Your child. Thank You that, because I believe in You, You are doing miraculous things in my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Memo to Self
Put a smile on your face. Remember the awe-inspiring faith heritage you have in Christ. Let Him do something miraculous in your life today.
Changing the Way you Think
- My Old Way of Thinking
It’s already “dead.” I may as well give up. Things are too far gone. - My New Way of Thinking
God can bring “dead” things (God-honoring stuff) back to life. He is a miracle-working God.
