It’s A New Day
Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentation 3:23
New Years Eve is traditionally a time when everyone looks back over the last year and reflects on all that was good or bad. But what about today? Isn’t today a new day, a chance to reflect on yesterday and make today right? Today’s passage tells us that Gods mercies are new ‘each morning’. To me this means, each day we arise we have a chance to make it right. It is my prayer that you will approach today with joy, expectation, gratitude and think today is a new day. It’s the first day of the rest of my life. It’s new – and I’m alive. I can breathe the air and feel the wind on my face. Today’s a gift from the Lord.
While we can see it as just another ordinary day, or one of those grey days, with the same jobs to do, and the same journeys to make. But why not see today as your New Years Day. A new day can hold many surprises and could even be the best day of our lives.
Yesterday may have held some downfall or failure, but, like a spiritual bath or shower of His mercy and forgiveness, we’re able to start anew with a clean heart, for yesterday has gone and today is a new day!
Prayer for today: Loving Father in heaven, Thank You, Lord, for this new morning. I place it in Your hands and praise You for the new mercies that You have graciously given me today, in Jesus’ name.
