I will give you a new spirit, says the Lord. I will give you a new mind and a new heart. What has been is not able to withstand what I have for you.
I have a new calling for you greater than anything that has been before. You’ve worn your shoes well, but look they are worn and tight. It’s time for new shoes in a bigger size. For I have new places and paths for you to travel.
Take down your biggest suitcase, for it will be filled to the brim. Don’t worry, you won’t have to carry anything on your back. I will sustain the weight.
Look to the horizon, I am your ever present help. I am your strong tower. The righteous abide in my presence, and they are protected. Flee from the pursuits of the flesh and worldly passions. Hide yourself in my presence. I will keep you safe.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:2 NIV
