This makes sense\u2014we go about living life, and the Word comes to us to repent, and things should change within us. We should not be living as we did before; we should now live in God\u2019s love, in His ways, with His rules, on His path, pleasing Him.<\/p>\n<p>In a <em>spiritual<\/em> sense, in repentance and belief our inner man is renewed. We have new life; we are new creatures in Christ, we have His Spirit living within us.<\/p>\n<p>In a <em>literal<\/em> sense, facing a new direction brings us a new view. In soldier-speak, life does an about-face. Everything takes on new meaning. It\u2019s like taking a sharp turn when driving a car, where suddenly what opens before us is a whole new scene\u2014unexpected, unseen, unknown.<\/p>\n<p>The new view brings hope. Better days ahead. New dreams. New purpose. New paths.<\/p>\n<p>Turn the corner and see what God does.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Father, we repent of our old ways and look forward to walking with a new view.
