My sister, Debbie, and I were talking and chuckling a bit the other day when discussing our neglect to write something in our day planner every single day. The reason is that some days we do the same thing. We jokingly said we could write what we did on Monday…
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24 KJV). My past does not dictate my future. My past is under the blood of Jesus! See me today as I grow and mature in the Lord. I declare I am committed!…
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23
The failures and mistakes of yesterday are behind us. We face a new day with confidence and determination to follow the Lord every step we take.
There may be decisions we have to make today, but we can trust the Lord to give us the wisdom and direction we need. All we have to do is call out His Name, Jesus, and He is there to meet us.
We may face sorrow and discouragement, but He has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. His mercies are new every morning, a fresh supply.
We may have times of joy and happiness and we will rejoice and praise God for that. The One we serve delights in giving us good things.
Whatever today holds, our life is in His hands, and He is in control. We can safely trust in Him because He is faithful and His Word is forever settled.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, whatever today holds, we know you are with us and work everything for our good.
