Fear Not • 1 Kings 6:16

“So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." (1 Kings 6:16) Elisha and his servant were completely surrounded by their enemy, an enemy seeking to kill them, yet Elisha is able to know everything will be fine. He knows all will work out for the good, not because he’s focusing on the physical problems, but on the super natural Father. The odds are always with us if we are sons or daughters of the living God- no matter what the circumstance, we are not to fear, for He has overcome the world.

A Transformed Life • 1 Corinthians 15:8-10

The apostle Paul that wrote a most of the New Testament books shows up as two very different people in the Bible. He was introduced as an embittered madman, tearing wildly at the fabric of the church. Skip a few books ahead and he’s centered, consistent, and determined to give all of himself for the glory of Christ and the building up of His church. 1 Corinthians 15:8-10 bridges the gap for us in his story: He met Jesus, and was reborn spiritually. The great favor that was shown to him stirred him to commit his life to the Lord.

A New Lifestyle • 1 Peter 4:3-5

Our non-Christian friends regard us as strange; they slander us and are surprised since we no longer indulge with them in their foolish ways of immorality, reckless spending, insensitive jokes, cursing, gossiping, wild parties, and the like which don’t bring pleasure to God. We don’t participate because we are new creations in Christ. Our old life is now crucified with Christ. It is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. We are no longer living for ourselves, but for Jesus who died on the cross and was raised to life again for our sake. 1 Peter 4:3-5, 2 Corinthians 5:15-18, Galatians 2:20-21
