Welcome to 2023! It is only new if you let go of the old. What old thoughts, emotions, and habits must you let go of? In 2 Corinthians 3 Paul coaches us to change into the very image of Christ (:18).

We start by letting our actions (instead of false bragging) flow from God’s letter written on our hearts (:1-3). This will lead us to focus on Christ through praise which will unleash His power (:4-6). When this happens God’s Glory will be evident in our lives. If Moses face illuminated the brightness of God’s glory, imagine how much more we can shine (:7-11; Mt.5:13ff).

Friend, are you willing to receive this glorious power from the Holy Spirit in 2023 (:12-18)? Then let Christ live in you so that He can change you.
