Good Friday morning! How good it is to have that "Friday" in there. This morning I realized that one of my major problems in maintaining a good walking habit is yidt. That is not some ancient Hebrew word for laziness, but is an acronym for "yesterday, I did this..." By using something I did yesterday as an excuse for not going out walking on a morning, I sabotage my own effort. This morning that didn't happen. This is not to say that the aches and pains caused by yesterday's activities simply and magically disappeared. However, one cannot fall into the habit of excusing today's inaction by yesterday's action. Unless, of course, one did something risky or dangerous yesterday and find one's self in the hospital today; probably better not to repeat that action! Each day is an exercise in self-analysis and feedback. The Bible tells us to examine ourselves daily. Did you stumble in your Christian walk and sin yesterday? Ask for forgiveness and don't do it today. Did you do something good for someone yesterday? Excellent! Find someone else and do the same thing again today, or find another good deed to do for the same person. Don't let that self-analysis get you down either; mistakes will happen whether they were done deliberately or accidentally. Trust in the Lord to guide you out of that dark valley and live for today!
Thank you, Lord, for the beautiful sunrise this morning!
