1 Kings 15:1-32; Jeremiah 26:1-24; Colossians 3:5-4:1
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Ephesians 5:8 NKJV
Only the transforming work of the Spirit can change a life from darkness to light. Paul confessed that before he met Christ, he was a blasphemer and a persecutor (1 Tim. 1:13). The Thessalonians also had, “turned to God from idols” (1 Thess. 1:9). Are you praying for someone who wants nothing to do with Christ? Don’t give up. If God could transform Saul the persecutor into Paul the Apostle, there is no one whose heart He can’t change. —E. V.
He changed my weeping to rejoicing, my guilt into grace,
Changed a list of wrongs behind, into a past erased;
He changed my wounded into healing, and my broken into praise,
It’s a miracle of mercy, that I’m standing here today…changed.—H. Kerr
