A Brand New Day
It’s true that nothing ever stays the same. If you think things can’t get any worse, they inevitably will. When you’re so low, it seems you have to look up to see the ground, you will soon find yourself on top of a mountain. Life is like that. I think God allows us to get that low in part so that we don’t forget how fortunate we are to have Him. I know for myself, when it seems like everything is coming against me, I make myself start counting my blessings. It may take a while for the feelings to come but the mere act of reminding myself things could be a lot worse eventually begins to lift my spirits until I am singing once again.
I wonder if that’s what Jeremiah felt like when he said, “Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)
God is so merciful. He must get tired of seeing us panic when things begin to go wrong but He gently stands patiently by ready to prove Himself once again knowing that in time we’ll get the big picture. The more I see God at work, the more I understand these things. I know He’s never failed me and He never will. I know He’s still working on me and He who began a good work in me will continue to do so until I’m in His presence continually. (Philippians 1:6)
I’m thankful for each new day God brings my way. I know He has a reason for me to live each day and I pray I’m faithful to perform each task He has for me to do. Life can be hard but God is good. Thank You, Lord, for a brand new day!
