Good morning on this day, not that next day, but this day. How many times have we awakened on one morning only to remind ourselves that tomorrow is something or some day? What about today, this day we are given? Today I am watching my pot for some reason, and as the cliche goes it isn't boiling. Anticipation is a hard thing to follow. It skips over today and says that tomorrow is something we cannot have today. Okay, maybe we can give a pass today because, "I don't care what tomorrow is, as long as it isn't Monday!" Yes, today is Monday, and of all the days this is the one we like to skip the most. A good legalistic finger pointing is probably not what we need to start the Monday. So...
Yesterday's tomorrow is now here. Hallelujah! God loves me and you, and nothing, not even a Monday, can separate us from His great love. Each day we are a bit closer in our journey to be with Jesus forever in the glories of Heaven. Any mistakes or stumbles from yesterday are safely in the past, and today, God's love flows over us once more. Right in the middle of all those lamentations, Jeremiah reminds us that God's compassions are new each morning. (Lam 3:22-24) This is a good morning to remember the lovingkindness of God and seize on a few of those mercies. Remember the peace Jesus left with us. (John 14:27) Recall the prophecies of the glorious age to come (many places in God's word!) and the promise of our Lord's return. Yes, I think that helps with today quite a lot.
God's grace and peace to you,Bucky
