The Daily Challenge
One of the greatest challenges for me
as a Christian is to overcome the Enemy’s daily reminder of my past
failures. From relationships to story lines, if there is an aspect
that did not fall in line with my idea of a Christian theme, it is
used against me.
"Therefore
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed
away; behold, new things have come." ~II Corinthians 5:17
Wait. What? Because I’m a believer,
I’m a new creature? But, what about that questionable bit of
story line I was tempted to write all of last week? I’m not a new
creature anymore. I’m as wicked as I ever was.
But it doesn't work that way.
“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
Each day is a new beginning. Each
morning we are a new creature in Christ. He allows us these precious
moments to begin anew. To grow in our faith and in our witness for
others, so we can attest to His great mercies. His patience. His
unending devotion to us, His children. In that promise there is hope,
each new day, for me to once again craft my heart to fulfill His
desire for my future.
I feel certain that future is bright.
