READ

Matthew 1:18-25

PONDER

“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.”  Rev. 21:5.

GLORY be to his name! All things need making new, for they are sadly battered and worn by sin. It is time that the old vesture was rolled up and laid aside, and that creation put on her Sabbath suit. But no one else can make all things new except the Lord who made them at the first; for it needs as much power to make out of evil as to make out of nothing. Our Lord Jesus has undertaken the task, and he is fully competent for the performance of it. Already he has commenced his labour, and for centuries he has persevered in making new the hearts of men, and the order of society. By-and-by he will make new the whole constitution of human government, and human nature shall be changed by his grace; and there shall come a day when even the body shall be made new, and raised like unto his glorious body.

What a joy to belong to a kingdom in which everything is being made new by the power of its King! We are not dying out: we are hastening on to a more glorious life. Despite the opposition of the powers of evil, our glorious Lord Jesus is accomplishing his purpose, and making us, and all things about us, “new,” and as full of beauty as when they first came from the hand of the Lord.

Spurgeon, C. H. (1834-1892).

PRAY

After a moment of quietness, let the Spirit of God lead you as you pray for 5 people who you would love to see become followers of Jesus Christ, or people who you know have strayed from God. Name them before the Lord, asking God to reveal Himself to them, and that He would draw them in grace, mercy and love to trust and follow Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.  

 

Close your prayer time with the Lord’s Prayer:

 

Our Father, who art in heaven, 

Hallowed be Thy name. 

Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done 

on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day 

our daily bread. 

And forgive us our debts, 

as we forgive our debtors. 

And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil. 

For Thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, and the glory, 

for ever. Amen.
