Your two year old child plays with the key fob to your car
and triggers the alarm system so that you can’t get the doors open. When you do find someone to fiddle with the
locks and get it open, you find that the engine won’t start because the alarm
system is still enabled. You are now
late for work. You go to use your cell
phone call a tow truck and your employer to find that the cell towers are not
working today where you live. The next
day, you discover that the water company has shut off the water main for an
emergency pipe break and it is uncertain how long it will take. Someone totals your husband’s car. It seems like the bad just keeps going on and
on. You can choose to wallow in
self-pity and tell your story to all your friends, post it on Facebook, or you
can choose to give to Jesus in prayer, draw a line in the sand right then, and
start fresh in your heart.
From John Collins Ministries:
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘Therefore I hope in Him!’” Lamentations 3:22-24 (NKJV).
Have you ever had a bad day that just went
on and on into the next
and then the next?
Have you ever enabled your own sin by saying to yourself that you have already sinned so what
does it matter? You do not have to allow one bad day to just stretch into an
undetermined amount of time while you wallow in your own filth and excuses.
God is amazing
and His mercy and compassion is fresh
and new
each day so if you messed
up yesterday and regret it
there is no reason to continue today. You have to stop your own self-sabotage at some time and
just get
on with it. There is no excuse for any
of us and we are prone to justify
our mistakes.
God does not want justifications,
He wants us to accept
responsibility and to make the
effort to change
our ways.
God
does not expect perfection but He does expect you to care enough to make the
effort. He knows when you are slacking in your faith,
making excuses and just refusing to change your ways. If today was a bad day
for you, find your remorse and then with a prayer
seeking forgiveness you can move on and hope again in a new day, a new
opportunity to get it right and a new chance to bear good fruit.
You have to decide that you are worth it and that you matter
enough to desire heaven because God has already done that for you by sending
Jesus and He died on that cross for you which proves His love and His belief
that you are worth it. With our Lord validating your self-worth you need to do
the same and choose to obey the gospel of Christ. Let each day be a day that
you praise God and thank Jesus.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (NKJV).
