It's a NEW DAY!!!

     Good morning!  It is July 1st and this IS the first day of the rest of your life!  Yesterday may have been great for you.  But we can't live long on the successes of yesterday.  And if yesterday was not all that you hoped it would be, then get ready, because today is a NEW DAY!  "God's mercies are new every morning" - Lamentations 3:23.  Yesterday is old news and today is a clean slate.  Don't let the fears and failures of yesterday drag you down.  Today is completely NEW!  Think about that for a minute.  Today has never happened before... Mind = Blown!
      But before you let that excitement of a new day turn into fear and anxiety of the unknown, remember, although today is completely new - Jesus has still been here before us.  Jesus still knows what trials, struggles, fears, failures, successes, and victories each of us will face today.  Jesus has promised, and still does by the way, that He will be with us and guide us safely through whatever we face - good or bad - if we place our trust in Him and Him alone.
      Many of us, myself included at times, like that previous statement until "... and Him alone."  We tend to place more trust and faith in what we can see rather than a God we cannot.  But God, often wants to take us to better destinations, and even down a better path, than the objects we can see.  And God created those objects.  He knows they were never meant to be followed.  He knows there limitations.  And He knows that we ultimately guide the object we trust too.  God is not guided by our intentions.  We are either guided by God, or we are not.
      Let me get back on track... Trust God.  He DOES know what He is doing.  Many times I struggle to figure out just what He's up to, and that just gets me into trouble.  Ha-ha.  It is not my job to know what God's up to.  It is my job to trust God to get me to where He wants me.  And to be doing the work He has called me to do as we go!  Don't forget to work!  Don't wait to get to where your going to start.  The work and opportunities God is giving you to do now is preparing you to maximize your potential when He has brought you to where you need to be.
     Trust God.  He knows what He's doing.  Trust Him to clean up yesterday's mess.  Trust Him with today.  And don't worry about tomorrow. - Matthew 6:34

In Jesus Christ you will make it all the way!

Be a blessing to someone at random today and you will be blessed in deed.
