August 3: If The Walls of Your Life Are Crashing Down…
Affirmation: I am gentle with myself and my mistakes. I treat myself with love and respect.
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;”
1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV
~~~~~~
Ponder, Personalize, Practice: Continue to memorize Philippians 1:6. Practice this verse…Be confident as you go through the day. Talk to God about how He wants you to proceed with your day.
Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

If The Walls of Your Life Are Crashing Down, Maybe God A Has A Renovation In Mind.
If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the newest here! 2 Corinthians 5:17
It’s a question accompanied by a hollow pit in your gut. If we are not mindful, that hollow feeling, can swallow us and make it seem like there’s no way out. Fear feels like that. It gets in our system and leaves us hurting for answers and certainty. The whole thing seems like a calamity.
What is God doing here? Is He even here?I have some friends who are really good at taking worn down and weathered homes and bringing them back to life. By the time they are done with the project, you can’t even recognize the place. From the bones of the house to the finer details, from the light fixtures to the baseboards, they bring brand new life into a once rickety space.
What if that’s what God is up to when nothing seems to make sense? At one level, we are all tear downs. What if he’s fixing up our hearts?
Uncertainty is not a life sentence. We are not forever doomed to wrestle and worry over futures that are little hazy. What if there’s purpose to it, an opportunity to refine ourselves and make positive changes in our lives? The trick is this: don’t lose your cool. God uses uncertainty in our lives to remodel our hearts. When we feel the panic under our ribs, it’s our heart asking to be remodeled into something more resilient and beautiful. If we are willing to trust God to bust down some walls and set us up with something restored, our hearts are going to experience quite a transformation. We’ll trade anxiety and worry for purpose and confidence. We are being made.
What in your life is being made new?
