In the world of Christians, renewal has taken on varying meanings.
We might immediately think of renewal as replacing or repairing what is worn out or broken down in our lives. From these past few years many are tired, some discouraged. We need renewal.
But I wonder if a second consideration is in order?
Have you thought of renewal in your life as the resuming an activity after a period of dormancy, interruption or inactivity? Look back over the last while. Have you dropped some very good habits? Do you need to renew some activities that were dropped because the circumstances warranted it? Is it time to resume?
