00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:23.041 --> 00:00:27.527
Today is Day 70, transformation Empower.

00:00:27.527 --> 00:00:33.875
From 1 Peter 1, verses 3 and 4, from the New Living Translation.

00:00:33.875 --> 00:00:42.973
God has given us new birth into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.

00:00:42.973 --> 00:00:47.469
How does transformation occur in our lives?

00:00:47.469 --> 00:00:54.286
Over the next several days, we're going to explore the various ways that God brings about lasting transformation.

00:00:54.286 --> 00:01:02.249
First, it's important to understand that any approach to transformation that places self at the center is bound to fail.

00:01:02.249 --> 00:01:12.412
Self-improvement and self-enlightenment may offer temporary change, but they can't produce the lasting transformation that only comes from divine empowerment.

00:01:12.412 --> 00:01:24.224
That's why the Apostle Paul begins his letter by emphasizing God has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

00:01:24.224 --> 00:01:35.152
The true transformation happens from the inside out, through the new life we receive in Christ, which leads to growth in grace and spiritual maturity.

00:01:36.293 --> 00:01:42.296
There's a story of a large man who stepped into a defective scale, not realizing that it was broken.

00:01:42.296 --> 00:01:51.471
A young boy nearby watched in awe as the needle on the scale quickly rose, only to stop at 50 pounds, close to what the boy himself weighed.

00:01:51.471 --> 00:02:02.310
Confused, the boy looked at the man, then back at the scale and finally said to his mother Mom, that guy must be hollow inside.

00:02:02.310 --> 00:02:09.966
In a lot of ways we're like that man without the power of Christ in our lives, hollow on the inside.

00:02:09.966 --> 00:02:17.788
Without the resurrection power of Christ, we're empty, no matter what we try to fill ourselves with.

00:02:17.788 --> 00:02:26.829
But when we're empowered by the Holy Spirit, we're filled with an imperishable treasure the very life of Christ living within us.

00:02:26.829 --> 00:02:34.943
This treasure is given freely by grace, transforming us from within and leading to lasting change.

00:02:34.943 --> 00:02:39.832
True transformation is not something that we can achieve on our own.

00:02:39.832 --> 00:02:47.112
It's a gift brought about by the power of Christ's resurrection and sustained by the Holy Spirit.

00:02:48.284 --> 00:02:48.766
Let's pray.

00:02:48.766 --> 00:02:54.520
We praise you, god Almighty, for the indwelling power of Christ's resurrection.

00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:02.979
May our joy never fade and our eternal treasure never spoil, in Jesus' precious name, amen.

00:03:02.979 --> 00:03:10.009
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
