The word for today is - New !

Good morning,

The word for today is - New !

 

Let's read Lamentations 3:23,They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Bad as things are in the world today, it 's the mercy of God that they are not worse.Thank God every morning first ! He is the begining of this day.  It's the work of the Lord, read Psalm 118:23,This is the Lord's doing: it is marvellous in our eyes. It is of the Lord's mercy we are not consumed. Wait for the salvation of the Lord. Why are you sad today, when the word from God says to rejoice and be glad in it? You have life giving to you by God. Amen ! Paul rejoiced in prison. David wrote psalms in the wilderness; Paul and Silas sang in jail; the Hebrew children remained resolute in the fiery furnace; John saw Heaven in his exile, and Jesus prayed in the garden of pain. You no longer have yesterday, it's gone! You don't yet have tomorrow, but you have this day.For the word tells us in Psalm 118:24,This is the day which  the Lord hath made; we (I) will rejoice and be glad in it. Do you not know how much God loves you? Yes, you the believer! Let's read John 13:34, A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. It is called new, not because there was no command before which required people to love their fellow mankind, for one great precept of the law was that they should love their neighbor as themselves in Leviticus 19:18; but it was new because it had never before been made known by any class or body of people. All  believers, are to be attach to each other. Let's look at Jesus,he not only loved his neighbor as himself, but he loved them more than himself, for he laid down his life for mankind. In this he calls upon the disciples to imitate him; to be ready on all occasions to lay down their lives for each other. Also, Jesus tells us not just for the good people, but also for your enemies ( Love your enemies;  Lay down your lives for each other). Did you get that? all people! The Lord tells us to put on the new man ( that's the Spirit) read Genesis 1:27, that God created man in his own image. Read Ephesians 4:24,And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.For this is not by the power of man, but by the Spirit of God; this is God's work, and not man's; it is he who made us, not ourself. Thank you God for your word and your Love for us. Amen !
