Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
I heard this recently - Woken up, shaken up, picked up and grown up.
So, what’s next? Now we can choose to shake off yesterday whether it was good or bad. If something happened to upset or disappoint us, let’s close the door on it. Yesterday is done and dusted and we can’t change it but we can learn from it and leave it in God’s hands because God is picking us up and blessing us with His new mercies this morning. He says in Psalm 23 that He has provided goodness and mercy to follow and overtake us each day and I’m on the lookout for them. How about you?😊
God plants us in this new day with new hope in our hearts because He is in it with us, strengthening, upholding and breathing new life into us. Just take a few breaths and imagine breathing His life into your lungs.
God doesn’t just leave us there though, because He’s also growing us up into something better, wiser and stronger than we were before. He’s taking us into a new place of trusting in Him, giving us fresh thoughts, new insights we can pass on to others to be a blessing to them.
God can use whatever has happened in our lives and turn it round for our good, to grow us up into who He needs us to be.
So let’s give our loving Father a big thank you for today knowing He loves us and He is with us in it. In Jesus name. Amen.
