2 Corinthians 4:16 - A Resolution to Keep.

2 Corinthians 4:16: A Resolution to Keep.

2 Corinthians 4:16 (NKJV) Therefore we do not lose heart. Even 
though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being 
renewed day by day.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   My first week of New Year's resolutions is behind me. Truth 
is I am not big on making them (it's probably because I never keep 
them). Give up desserts for a year? I blow that the first sight of a 
chocolate clair. A few years ago I made a resolution to answer all my 
mail within a week of receiving it - I'm still catching up on 
November's letters. The list goes on: do not bite nails... give up sugar... 
quit being a slave to email... smaller portions on your plate... turn 
off the TV... organize your ATM receipts. 
   There is, however, one resolution worth considering. Second 
Corinthians 4:16 states that the inner man - your inner being, the new 
creation - must be renewed day by day. It's a necessity. The inner man 
has to be daily nourished, whether it's January 7th, 8th, 9th, 
February, March, summer or fall. Too often we feed our inner being only on 
Sunday mornings, or when we hear a good sermon, or during a monthly 
Christian luncheon or a seasonal Bible retreat. Many of us allow the year 
to wear us down because we ignore this simple fact - our fellowship 
with God must be renewed day by day. Our inner being metabolizes 
quickly and just one day of neglect will bring on spiritual 
malnutrition. 
   I pray "that he would grant you, according to the riches of 
his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner 
man" (Ephesians 3:16 KJV). Covenant with God today to invite his 
Spirit to replenish you as you spend time in his Word and in prayer. 
It's a must. It's one resolution you can't afford not to keep. It'll 
make this year happy. 
   Lord Jesus, show me fresh insights every day in your Word... 
reveal your heart to me in prayer... and in so doing, renew my inner 
man, day by day. [Joni Eareckson Tada Daily Devotional 010718:
