It’s with great excitement this week, that I become an uncle
to a beautiful baby girl. When new babies
arrive a ton of emotion seems to flood our hearts and minds.
I couldn’t help but think about all of the “firsts” the new
family is experiencing.
Today, they are
experiencing their first good morning
kisses, hugs and breakfast … everything is new.
The baby is having her first morning outside of mommy’s
belly, there is no previous mornings to compare it to, no mistakes to dwell on
from the past. Today is new.
As we grow older, we may feel that all of our past actions are
unforgivable or that they are something
we can’t get away from. Sometimes our bodies remind us of our age and actions.
(getting up in the morning is no fun when your body doesn’t want to work.)
We may not have the advantage of being a brand new baby without a past,
but with God everyday is a new beginning. God sent His son to die for our sins
so that we could have a new life.
2 Corinthians 4:16 brings this subject to focus: “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer
self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.”
Approach today
knowing that it’s a brand new day, Today
is your first November 23, 2013.
Good New Morning,
Adam
Learning to praise God in all things is something that I have had to learn and relearn in my life. Even the physical pains and the personnel aggravations are to be praised. Hebrews 11 teaches about the faithful-those who waited on the Lords coming and did not see it in their life time. Hebrews 13: 15"Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice if praise to God, that is the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. (NASV 1995)
