"Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV
Every day is a new day - a new start. You may have messed up yesterday but, whatever happened yesterday, if you have asked forgiveness for your part, you have received it 1John 1:9. Therefore, you have a brand new start - a brand new day to live through.
When you think about it, why worry about yesterday. Can it be changed? Can you go back into time and change a few things? Many of us would like to do that but, it's impossible, what we have is today and we need to move on. As long as you have put right your part of yesterday, assuming that you need to obviously, that is all you can do.
You may have had a good day, yesterday and God is pleased, but that was yesterday, today is today. Don't try to be 'Yesterday's man or woman.' You are of today. You can't go back, you can't live in the past, this is today. It is nice and comforting to remember things of course. Most of us have nice memories, But that is all, they can't be changed; they are set in stone to be enjoyed from time to time. We look at photographs and probably think, 'My hair was brown when that was taken, I'm grey now. It was only a few years ago.' That is a part of nice memories, so savour them but don't try to change them or even live in them. Today is your day. This is the day of your salvation 2 Corinthians 6:2.
Today is all you have. You have a past, yes, but that is past. You can look and plan for a future and that can be sensible, but really, all you have is today. Sadly for some, they may not get beyond today and that is how life goes and we cannot change that. Therefore, it makes sense to savour today, live for today and make the very best of it. Enjoy what God has given you, your family, your home and all the things that make life worth living. Enjoy the fact, that you have Jesus as Your Saviour, the One who welcomes you into heaven when your time is right.
This day, is your day, make the most of it!
