As for Me and My House – Day 12

DAY 12: HE LIVES LIFE IN ME

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 

When Christ died on the cross, we died. He now lives and, by faith in Him, we live as well. What a powerful statement! The life I now live in the body is lived by faith in Him. We have His resurrection life in us. When we accept and experience this truth, how different our life becomes! Because of His love and sacrifice on our behalf, we get to live a totally new, empowered life. The old me is dead, and His resurrected, eternal life is mine—forever! 

QUESTIONS Have you ever thought about God living in and through you? What do you need to do to either accept this fact or to reenforce it today? Will you accept His acceptance of you?

PRAYER Help me meditate on this new life You have given me, to value what You endured, and to accept what You did so Your life can be lived through me. I can never make my “old self” acceptable to You. Help me live this life by faith in You—more of You and less of me. 

ACTION Take time to write out Galatians 2:20. Read it aloud. Tell God you will allow Him to be your life and you no longer will try to live life in your own power, because Christ lives in and through you.
