Daily Devotional - Monday-August 16, 2021
My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!
Monday is here once again…..another restful weekend (at least for me); has come and gone…..I hope you are starting this new week with the mind-set that you are in Christ and He is in you….. Let us look at this together…..we at times walk around with the idea that our identity is in the ‘ways of the world’ (so to speak); yet, as we read today’s scripture together…..let’s consider it’s ‘deep’ meaning for each of us…… “My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—“……. The identity that we ‘thought’ was ours no longer exists (actually never did)…..we have ‘always’ been in God’s Presence and He in ours….. read on……”we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!” God gave Himself for me (you)……and we are walking in the ‘Faith’ that ‘IS’ Jesus ….. He ‘Is’ our ‘Faith’….He ‘ID’ our all in all……. May we start this new day….this new week in the assurance that we are His and He is ours…..(Take A Moment To Meditate….Place Your Hands Over Your Heart)……Breathe in…..(My Old Identity Is Not Valid)…..Breathe out…..(My New Identity Is And Has Always Been In Christ)……Breathe in….(I ‘AM’ Empowered By God)……Breathe out…..(We Are In Union With Christ)…….Monday here we are again…..living in ‘Union with Christ’……Breathe in…..Breathe out…….
Let’s pray……”Father, help us to ‘see’ ourselves in union with Christ and ‘live’ in union with Christ……Bless this day….protect us and our families…..we come to You in the name of Jesus ….. all together….say…….Amen.”
