It's a New Day

Our yesterdays may have been less than perfect; even painful.  But if we know who we are, we should realize that even though the sunrise may not impress us; O Lord, it's a new day.  I'm so happy yesterday is gone and I have new choices to make.

Start your day with Jesus, who is waiting on you.  Now that is awesome!  The Lord of creation wants to start the new day with a morning of love and praise.  I know that sometimes He seems unreachable, but he will remember you in times of trouble; His love continues forever.  In His life on earth; He touched the leper with His hands, called for the dead to rise with a human tongue, shed tears which came from a heart as broken as yours or mine ever has been.  And the people came to Him because He was more than a preacher in a pulpit; He chose to be a touchable, reachable Jesus.  He is still that same Jesus waiting for you to begin a "new day" with Him.

The ones who make Jesus their dwelling place will be given rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  And under his wings you will be protected and not fear the terror of the night or the unknown day.  He will even send angels to guard you.  Oh, how He loves us!

At the cross, He proved that He was love, but also He was just.  Do you realize that He is jealous of you and me?  Jesus knows where your heart is, and wants your love and attention.  How else can the Word of God speak to us and give us counsel?  If you will listen, you may hear Him whisper your name:  "My love for you does not change".

God will give you grace to undergo anything that comes your way.  He will hide your heart and soul in "heavenly places" and give you the "unsearchable riches" of Christ.  He dwells in your hearts through faith, so that you will know His love and have all the fullness of God.  And through faith we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

Our God is reachable any time if we just "sweetly surrender" ourselves to Him.  If we're going to get started, how about now?  I get excited every morning because:

"It's a New Day"!
