(a chapter from my book, Facing Change)
Each new day is given to us as a brand new creation: a blank canvas that a skilled painter can paint on, or as a blank sheet of paper that a skilled writer can write on. The choices we make on each new day will chart the course of our lives. The minute decisions that we take will write the stories of our lives. Quite unlike fate, which seems to be predetermined for us by some external force. God gives us the freedom of choice to pro-actively choose and decide, ask for what we want and need. And then, according to our choices, we are rewarded appropriately. There are consequences for unwise choices. We need to navigate life well. [Psalm 118:24 NKJV, Psalm 84:10 NIV, 2 Thessalonians 2:15-17 MSG]
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Thank You, Abba Father, Lord Jesus Christ.
Brand New Day
It is a heavenly new morning
With the same dew that Gideon saw
It is a brand new day that God has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it
I love You, Lord
You breathe Your life into me
Invigorate my work
Enliven my speech
I walk boldly in Your presence
I wait patiently for You to move
I ask for Your divine favor
The Blood of Christ to cover my sins
In Your new life, I boldly walk
Confident I will receive in faith
To be Your child, I hold Your Hand
To breathe the breath You gave to me
May the grace and peace of Abba Father the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Thank You, Abba Father, Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
