Thankful for each new day

Sometimes I’m just thankful each day is a new day. Some days don’t go the way you would have liked, or the way you had planned. So, each new day is kind of like a do-over.

I like to think of each new day as a clean slate. Kind of like the chalkboard, in school, that got erased at the end of the day. Whatever was on there before is gone. So, now you got a new start. This is especially true when things don’t go your way. Sometimes you have a run of negative events and you just want to hit the reset button.

After a good night’s sleep, a new morning brings a new set of opportunities. I’ve realized, in times past, that just having a restful night’s sleep can really change your perspective. It’s difficult to pinpoint it when you’re in the moment, but sometimes the day seems overwhelming just because you’re tired. I’ve noticed this when I pay attention to it. Now, I’m able to realize, “Oh, I’m just tired right now. When I get some good sleep things won’t seem so bad.” I think this is partly because when you’re tired, you don’t have the confidence, energy, and mental clarity to face what’s in front of you. Getting good sleep helps with all those things. It recharges your batteries. Like a B12 shot.

But I’m not just thankful for each new day because the last one was so disappointing. That wouldn’t be the right way of seeing things. That isn’t a complete, or proper, perspective. I’m thankful for each new day because of the potential it has. Especially when I start it with the right attitude. Every day I start out on a journey that has endless opportunities. That’s how I must see it. This is what should drive me forward. And when you have that kind of perspective your odds of having a good day are much greater. We have the ability to write a new chapter in our story each day. And I have the opportunity to make the positive changes I want to make in myself and my surroundings.

Sometimes fear can creep in though. And not because things aren’t going well, but because they are. Sometimes things can be going so well that I’m afraid of messing it up. This is when I can’t let fear start to dictate my actions. I can’t just stay there because I don’t want to mess it up. I need to keep moving forward, bravely. So, whether yesterday was a good day or not, I have to courageously move forward.

Even though there can be pressure to put something new on the chalkboard, I’m thankful for the opportunity. We have the value of learning from past experiences. Each day is a new opportunity to learn something new and apply it to our lives. I suppose that’s what wisdom is: a collection of things you’ve learned and now know how to properly apply to your life.

 

…Let’s go deeper

One of the reasons I’m thankful for each new day is because of the things I did wrong the day before. Some of these things are sin. But It says in AV Lamentations 3:22-23 “[It is of] the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness.” This shows us God’s compassion for us. His mercies are new every morning. So, don’t waste God’s mercies. Be thankful for them. Be thankful that He lets us clean our slate and that Jesus provided a way for us to have a new start. Learn from our past failures and move forward with a clean heart.

And one thing we can’t do is beat ourselves up over yesterday. We can’t dwell on the past and move forward at the same time. Once we know we’re forgiven we do better. Because when we know better, we do better. And we move forward with that knowledge. AV Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Paul had things he had to leave in the past. Things he had to forget about so he could move forward. Just like we do. He was saying that he was going to forget about those things, so he could move forward to the goal set before him and all that God had for him.

AV Isaiah 43:18 says, “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.” This verse also emphasizes the need for us to forget about the things of the past. It goes one further, though. See, each new day isn’t just about the things I’m going to do. The plans I have for myself. It’s about the plans God has for my life. Ultimately, I should be excited about the things God is going to do in my life. God wants to do new things in our lives. He wants to show Himself strong on our behalf. This talks here about Him doing a new thing. And we’re going to know it and that it was Him. He wants to do miracles in our lives. And that’s the only explanation we’ll have. That it was Him, and Him working in our lives.

AV Lamentations 3:22-23 “[It is of] the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness.”

AV Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

AV Isaiah 43:18 says, “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.”
