I like remembering when I get up in the morning that -today- is a brand new day! The outcome of today does not depend on yesterday's failures or successes. That's pretty refreshing and challenging! As I start my day, I want to remember that:
1) Today the Lord loves me and shows me grace just as much as He ever has!
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
2) Today is part of God's plan for me - whatever it may bring!
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
Psalm 139:16
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
3) Today I must make the decision to follow Christ!
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Luke 9:23
