LOVE ISLAND - WEEK FIVE - DAY FOUR
Hello and welcome to your Daily Devos following our Love Island messages at 29:11! Take some time today to read through the scriptures provided, meditate on the lessons learned that are applicable for all of us from this week and journal your prayers. Have an amazing week 29:11 Church!
THEME SCRIPTURE:
Matthew 19:1-6 NLT
When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went down to the region of Judea east of the Jordan River. Large crowds followed him there, and he healed their sick. Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?” “Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.””
TODAY’S PASSAGE:
2 Corinthians 5:17
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
REFLECTION:
Have you ever did something and then immediately regretted it? We all wish we could have a do-over on one thing or another. If only real life was like Monopoly and we were able to get a get out of jail “FREE” pass right? Regret is one of the worst feelings in the world. And most of us, if we were honest, would admit to having regrets over past actions and mistakes.
2 Corinthians 5:17 is an amazing reminder of the newness that we have in Christ. God’s grace is bigger than our regrets. And even though there are consequences from past mistakes, the old has gone and the new has come. There is no reason to look back and regret. We must let the past be the past. So say goodbye to your old ways of living. Let go of the past today - you are a new creation in Christ!
THOUGHTS TO PONDER:
Is there anything in your past you need to let go of? How has the Lord changed your old ways and made you new? Thank Him for how He has changed your life and made you new!
