“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Last week Deborah shared about Faith-filled Friday. That was the beginning of many God winks throughout my day. My eyes were opened to the goodness of God. One, in particular, was a devotion that also had mentioned being Faith-filled. Are you familiar with the analogy of a pumpkin. Cleaning out the seeds and slime is representation for our old self to be gone so that we can be made new in Christ. With that new self, we are Faith-filled, sometimes, maybe, always?

Maybe on this day, you are more like a doubting Thomas or a busy Martha than feeling Faith-filled. Sometimes, maybe, always we need to see the goodness of God through God winks so that we are filled with faith and not doubt. Sometimes, maybe, always we need to be reminded to be still in God’s presence to listen for what we cannot see.

I encourage us to listen and worship to the song, Stand In Awe by Bethel, Paul McClure, and Habnah McClure. Some of the lyrics sing, “Where we made it complicated, realign us to stand in awe of you”. Sometimes, maybe, always we need to ask God to realign us daily so that He can uncomplicate the Thomases and Marthas. I guarantee with every surrender, that we can be made new and Faith-filled.
