It’s a New Day!
It’s a new day is a statement we all should make daily. The
things of yesterday can never be again and each day is a new starting point.
Don’t dwell on what was or could have been but take hold of today, making it
all it can be.
We often begin the day with the guilt and despair of the
failures of the past. Our days are filled with sins, mistakes and things we
should or shouldn’t have done. In our businesses and non-business lives we are
always coming short of what we need to do. Instead of only remembering those
things to learn from them and appreciating not being there any longer we beat
ourselves to a place we can’t rise above it.
As we recall Bible history the Israelites were required to
offer sacrifices for the sins of the past year. I’m sure as they made those
sacrifices they would remember what they had done and again relive the shame of
it. The sins were not forgotten but merely covered. I’m thankful that program
is no longer in effect and we are cleansed of our sins. When Jesus Christ died
on Calvary His blood was the sacrifice that paid for our sins. Accepting Him as
our Savior gives us His forgiveness and He not only forgives but He also
forgets and He sees us as if we had never sinned. So the only person who keeps recalling our sins is Satan and us.
We need to realize what Jesus does for us and not require more of ourselves
than He does.
We often act the way the Israelites did as we go through
life, remembering and punishing ourselves for our mistakes. There is no way
anyone can go back to yesterday and change what has happened. I know we all
would like to but we can’t. All we can do is learn from it and not repeat it
again, that is a means of growth, which comes from knowledge and gaining wisdom
from it. Applying the lessons of yesterday will prepare us to face the
challenges of tomorrow.
So face the day with a renewed faith and assurance that it’s
the only life we have. Using each moment to be a positive influence in
someone’s life while drawing strength from the past. Let the past be a force
pushing toward tomorrow instead of an obstacle keeping you in yesterday.
