”For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
Romans 8:38-39
Nothing can separate you from the love of God. That is a good way to start this Monday off knowing that no matter what comes your way….God loves you!!!

”Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.“
Ezekiel 11:19-20
As God told Israel here, we too need to get rid of a stony heart and get a new heart by being born again. A new creation we become when we surrender our old lives and start our new lives following Jesus. Then our new hearts are soft and yield to the Word of God! Bro g obedient to Him!
Have you got rid of the stony heart? Why not today? Call out to Jesus!

”Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.“
Psalms 100:4
God is so good! Here we are reminded to be thankful to Him. Praise Him. Bless His name. He is worthy of all this and so much more. Think about today how much time do you spend praising, blessing, and be thankful to the One who has provided everything for you!

”but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”“
I Peter 1:15-16
If God called you to salvation and you accepted then you are to be like Him…holy! We don’t get to pick and choose which areas in our lives we want to be holy He wants all areas of our lives to be holy like Himself!
We have a high calling…strive to be holy like Jesus!

”For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?“
I John 5:4-5
To overcome this sin filled world we must be born of God! It is the ONLY way. To be born of God is to put your faith in Jesus the Savior of the world who took your sins to the cross and died but overcome sin and death by resurrecting on that third day! Praise the Lord!!!
So the question is…Have you overcome the world?
