Spiritual Renewal

From: New Life Daily Devotionals - Steve Arterburn

Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you."

Even the most inspired Christians can, from time to time, find themselves running on empty. The demands of daily life can drain us of our strength and rob us of the joy that is ours in Christ. When we find ourselves tired, discouraged, or worse, there is a source from which we can draw the power needed to recharge our spiritual batteries. That source is God.

God intends that His children lead joyous lives filled with peace. But sometimes peace seems very far away. It is then that we must turn to God for renewal, and when we do, He will restore us.

Are you tired or troubled or worried? Take the time—or, more accurately, make the time—to delve deeply into God’s Holy Word. Are you spiritually depleted? Call upon fellow believers to support you, and call upon Christ to renew your spirit and your life. When you do, you’ll discover that the Creator of the universe stands always ready and always able to create a new sense of joy in you.
