Don't You Love New Days?

You know, as much as I'm not a morning person, I've realized as I become older that the morning is my favorite time of the day! Rachelle gets up super early to get ready for work so I find myself up earlier than usual. This allows me to actually enjoy the morning instead of missing it while I'm sleeping!

Here's another reason why I like the morning, its brand new! Check this out, Max Lucado, in his book Everyday Deserves a Chance  Max tells us that every day is a brand new 24 hours. Yesterday's disappointments, attitude, regrets, etc. don't enter into today unless you take it with you. I pulled clip from his 30 Days of Thoughts blog:

Next time your day goes south, here is what you do: Steep yourself in the grace of God. Saturate your day in His love. Marinate your mind in His mercy. He has settled your accounts, paid your debt.

“Christ carried our sins in His body on the cross.”
1 Peter 2:24 NCV

Thats good stuff! Why should we worry about our failures when downfalls and sins when Christ already took care of them? A fulfilled life is merely acquired when you completely put your trust in Him! Allow Jesus to bless today, and guess what, you get another chance tomorrow!

Remember the woman that God used to assist Elijah? 1st Kings 17:7-16 tells you the story. She was poor and there was a draught. She lived with her son but neither was in good health. God instructed her to provide food for Elijah but she only had a handful of flower and a little oil in her jar yet she obeyed. Scripture tells us that every day God replenished the flour and oil. Every morning she woke up with just enough food to get through the day. Then, eventually, the rain came again and she was overwhelmed with blessings.

Allow Christ to give you enough flour and oil to make it through today. You may be at the bottom of your barrel, but He can provide if you trust in Him. 

Last verse to dwell upon: Philippians  4:19- But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
