Everyday can be a new life
Everyday is a new chance at a different life.
Every morning when we wake up we can choose how our day goes.
I know it’s hard. I battle those morning demons and have for years.
I have fought to think rightly in the face of a life that seemed stagnant and dead.
So, I’m not just blowing smoke.
I have waited for years for change to occur. I have done everything I can realistically do to make those changes occur and nothing has happened.
But that does not change the truth that each day is a new day.
Today it can change for the better.
And change does come. It has come for me. It will come for you.
Everything in this world was created by God, and all of it declares His truths. Everything teaches us of Him, and the life we can have in Him.
Every night we go to sleep, is a picture of our death. And every morning when we awake is a picture of our future resurrection.
It is also a picture of our dying to this world and our former lives, and being born again in Christ if we turn to Him.
It’s the same picture in baptism.
Every morning we arise again into new life.
Take a step back and see that God designed this world to teach us and grow us for something better. We are here for something more.
Step outside of yourself and see that new life happens every morning. Grab it and build a new.
Every morning you get a new life. Every morning you are resurrected into new life. Every morning is a picture of your new life in Christ.
Now use it. Ask God to guide you in it. Live it like it’s your last one.
Think about it. What would you do if you had another life to live? Now do it. Make wiser choices. Do the things you always wanted to do. Don’t give up. Figure out a way.
I know it’s hard. I fail too. But, the value exists in the failure. Because, in our failure we seek God, with a true heart. And He is where our strength truly lies.
Have faith that He hears. Stand on His promises. Keep speaking the faith. He is there with you. Trust Him.

God Will Come Running
When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know this…
How Do We Pray?
It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,…
As If By Fire
We Are Being Sanctified “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s…
