With a downcast look on their faces, Mom and Dad stood at the foot of my hospital bed. Their seventeen-year-old son lay there with his face full of deep cuts, missing teeth and a broken jaw. I told them I would never drink again. It wasn’t a week after my hospital stay, and I was plastered one more time. Fifty-five years later, that still haunts me.
What neither I nor my loving parents could do is deliver me from my love of alcohol. Three years later God did what no man could do and I am eternally grateful. I’ve had relatives and friends that didn’t make it. The gospel singer belted it out best, “It is no secret what God can do.”
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Give it some thought. It could change the trajectory of your life here on the planet.
