New Life Each Day
Tuesday January 13, 2015
What a difference each day becomes when we walk and talk with God. It’s wonderful to start the day with the promise of God’s unfailing love and goodness. As we remember that we have this gift of today, we can be encouraged by the fresh opportunity that God has put before us. We can read His word and talk with Him in prayer. We can be ourselves without the mask of addiction and explore our loving relationship with God. Out of the peace and security we experience in our relationship with Him, we can then share with others the love and goodness we have received. In meetings some of us attend we say from week to week a statement of ‘Life Affirmations’:
My life is of great beauty and infinite value. God has a plan for my life that is meaningful, purposeful, and joyful. There is a work for me to do today that will bless others and give me deep satisfaction.
This new life we’ve been given through the grace of God, this new season that is before us, begins with this new day. Yesterday’s mistakes, blunders, worries and pains are behind us and we cannot change what has been done. Worries of potential problems and burdens which may happen tomorrow are also not within our grasp. God, who knows the beginning from the end, knows all about us. God is with us and will help us face whatever presents itself in our day. Together with God any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Jesus said: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (Matthew 6:33-34, John 16:33 NIV)
We will build and experience new life throughout 2015 as we begin each day on this solid foundation.
