A New Day

Do you know how to start a new day? Leaving the cares, woes, trials, mistakes, and unfinished deeds behind you, all traces of, locked in yesterday? I’m not so sure we do or possibly can, and I know we can’t without the Lord’s gracious help and our sheer determination.

We make mistakes and carry the embarrassment and memories like a yoke around our necks. We speak up and our words often then leave us feeling open and vulnerable. We set out to participate and leave wishing we had stayed home. The day turned out way different than anticipated.

There are a million and one scenarios that hit the replay button in our minds; both good and bad but the uncomfortable ones seems to last the longest. Don’t misunderstand, I think that by analyzing any said scenario or situation is good for growth but to drag it around like a shadow isn’t.

Leaving yesterday behind is easier than it sounds. To take from yesterday what is needed and leave the rest behind as yesterday is over and today begins anew! If we let it!!!

This is one of those God muscles we need to build, grow, maintain, and flex!

God tells us that we are to begin anew every day!

Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

2 Corinthians 4:16 ESV “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.”

2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; the new has come.”

Psalm 143:8 ESV “Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.”

Psalm 46:5 ESV “God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.”

Psalm 118:24 ESV “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

This is the day the Lord has made! I don’t know what your day looks like, the dragons you may need to slay; the channels you may need to cross; the mountains left to climb! But, I do know we don’t have to face them alone, God is always in our midst!

It’s a brand new day, start fresh and be blessed. ☺️❤️
