Out with the old and in with the new. It\u2019s a clich\u00e9, but there’s truth in it. Lately I’ve been pondering 2 Corinthians 5:17:<\/p>\n

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.<\/em><\/p>\n

My dad had a desk that ended up at my house after he passed away. I stuck it in one of the little-used rooms in my house because the desk was, well…ugly. Beat-up. Old.<\/p>\n

The finish had faded, and it had scrapes and blemishes from years of use. The hardware was dated and tarnished. It was just tired-looking.<\/p>\n

But one day as I walked by that room, I noticed the lines of the desk and realized that there might be hope. <\/p>\n

A friend had recently posted photos of furniture that she’d remodeled with chalk paint, and I’d been wanting to try it. My husband said that I was wasting my time and should just donate the desk to Goodwill. But I figured that all I’d be out were a few hours and the cost of the paint.<\/p>\n

So I placed an old plastic tablecloth on the floor and put the desk on it. I removed the drawers and old hardware and dusted everything well.<\/p>\n

It only took about 90 minutes to paint the desk and about that long to finish it with some dark paste wax. And then I added some stylish new hardware.<\/p>\n

I was floored by the difference. It looked like a brand-new piece of furniture. And I loved the expression on my husband’s face when he saw it! I’m now proud to have that desk in my home, and it brings pleasure every time I see my new creation.<\/p>\n

God feels the same way about us. He sees hope when He looks at us, and He specializes in making new creations out of us.<\/p>\n

Let’s think about doing away with the “old” today so He can make something new and beautiful in our lives. Here are three ways to begin:<\/p>\n

1. Cast off the old.<\/strong>
\nYou know, sometimes we don’t let new things in our lives until the old things are gone. I want to paint and put down new flooring in my upstairs, but that means I have to clean out the room that has ended up as a storage area. It’s been a big job, but the more I clean out, the more I can envision the new things that will soon be there.<\/p>\n

What old habits or bad attitudes do we need to remove from our lives so that God can replace them with something better?<\/p>\n

2. Be willing to let Him remodel you.<\/strong>
\nJust as I enjoyed remodeling my dad’s old desk, God enjoys seeing His new creation taking shape in each of us\u2013but we have to be willing to let Him do it.<\/p>\n

Let’s pray today and ask Him to turn us into something beautiful, someone who will shine for God and bring Him joy.<\/p>\n

3. Delight in His new creation.<\/strong>
\nMy new desk is so pretty now that it’s hard for me to remember what it once looked like. It’s often the same way for us.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we can’t forgive ourselves. We can’t let go of our pasts and the mistakes we’ve made. But once God makes a new creation out of us, nobody sees the old stuff. They just see the beautiful new person that has emerged from God’s handiwork.<\/p>\n

Are you willing to be one of God’s remodeling projects today? I can guarantee you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
