in the image of God he created them;

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to dispose of and shed the old self and put on the new creation in Christ. Let us be reminded that, He has redeemed us by His blood and we are no longer slaves to our own flesh.

REFERENCE:

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? James 3:9-11

THOUGHTS:

Today, I challenge you to refrain from speaking good and evil at the same time. For this is not the will of God for our lives. By doing so, we avoid conflict, confusion and calamity.
