What does your daily routine say about you? Are you where you want to be? Are you experiencing God afresh each new day? Are you excited about what life has in store for you? All good questions that we tend not to ask too often, until life forces us to reflect.
Think about new beginnings! They are so fresh and exciting! We have hopes and dreams, possibilities that we have yet to discover. We are excited, plan, and cherish each moment in its' freshness, like a loaf of fresh bread coming out of the oven, there is nothing quite like it!
Then we get older, life jumps in and we forget to surrender our days to the Lord. We get caught up in "life" and leave God out of our day. It happens oh so subtly, that we don't even realize it until we find ourselves at a point of lack, hurt, disillusion, perhaps even heartache, then we remember and turn back to God.
God's word puts it like this. 2 Corinthians "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day". Lamentations 3:22 "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness".
God promises to always be with us and encourages us to begin each new day with him. Though we make mistakes, get off track, or continue faithfully on the same path, when we leave room for God to show up, each day is fresh and exciting, because he will use us in ways we did not know.
A friend just posted a sign on the entrance to their summer home that said" Leave room in your garden for angels to dance"". To me that sums it up perfectly. If our daly routine is to invite God into our day, then we allow him to direct our footsteps, and he will keep the excitement in, as he guides and protects us along the way.
Psalm 121: 6-8 "The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever".
