"Daily Renewal" By Diane Webb
II Corinthians 4: 16—"For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day".
It is the cause of Christ that keeps you going. Even though your body may suffer and die eventually, your inward self (the eternal you) will continuously be renewed each day. The inward self grows, develops, and gets better each day. At the same time your body deteriorates the longer you live your spiritual self only improves. Live each day for Christ and he will renew your soul. He will give you the strength, energy, and health to continue in the work for His kingdom. The aches and pains of this life are minor compared to the glory and exuberance of your eternal life with Christ. What you go through physically for Christ only sharpens your spiritual qualities. It is the inside you that will last forever. The outside you is only temporary. You do not need to focus on improving your physical body; just concentrate on improving your spiritual body—your soul. Instead of exercising physically, exercise spiritually!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for my spiritual soul that will enable me to live with you forever. Help me know the best ways to exercise my spiritual self so that I might grow in your truths and be a living witness for your kingdom. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
