Have you ever gotten up and said that you wish you could turn back the hands of time so that you can do things differently? I think we have all at some time or another wished we could go back and change the decision we made and our actions but we can’t go back. We can’t change what has happened but we can learn from what has happened. We can take our experiences and let them be lessons that teach us how to make better decisions in life.
God is a good God. He is a loving, just, and forgiving God. He knows us. He knows the decisions we will always make in life. He knows our beginning to our end and He loves us. The problem we have sometimes is, we don’t really know ourselves. We push our flesh to the limit thinking we are wise enough and strong enough to manage and handle ourselves in any given situation but we are not. We have to learn how to flee from the very appearance of sin. We have to learn how NOT to test our flesh. We have to remember, our flesh is weak. We have to learn how to choose right when the situation is going in the wrong direction.
Well, today is a new day. God has filled this day with His love, grace, and mercy. Not only has He filled this day with His love, grace, and mercy, He is with us. He said that He will never leave nor forsake us. He has said that His joy is our strength. He has placed within us His Holy Spirit and we know GREATER is He that is in us than anything coming against us in this world.
No, we can’t change our choices from yesterday but we can make today a better day by just following God.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Ecclesiasticus 21:2
King James Version
“Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.”
