This awesome God, he gives us a new beginning each day. That is something to thank him for!
Yesterday is gone.
Before I go to try each night I thank God for ALL, I ask him to help me to let go of all the negative experiences of that particular day. God advises us with good reason do not let the sun go down with our wrath. As the setting of the sun....close to the time of going to bed is supposed to be a time of rest and rest means letting go and just really leaving ALL in the hands of God, every hurt, pain, wound, injustice, everything just leave it in the hands of God and if you do you will find the sleep of the beloved to be sweet (Psalm 4:8)
AND THEN
God gives us the canvas of a new day, morning by morning. Psalm 118:24 says This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Here is the key though like Jesus this is what we need to do
Mark 1:35 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed
Let us give God the first fruit of every day and continue to live in Worship
1 Thessalonians 5:16 to 18
16 Rejoice always and delight in your faith; 17 be unceasing and persistent in prayer; 18 in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus
Knowing that
Romans 8:28 to 39
28 And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. 29 For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. 30 And those whom He predestined, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity].
31 What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us?(I) 32 He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself]. 34 Who is the one who condemns us? Christ Jesus is the One who died [to pay our penalty], and more than that, who was raised [from the dead], and who is at the right hand of God interceding [with the Father] for us. 35 Who shall ever separate us from the love of [d]Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 Just as it is written and forever remains written,
“For Your sake we are put to death all day long; We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.”(J)
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. 38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
It is ALL working for our good and God’s glory AND nothing, absolutely nothing can seperate us from God’s love. That my friends is enough to give God thanksgiving and praise for.
Rejoice evermore!
Amen
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
Pastor J
