The power of a day…

We take most days as they come, taking for granted that when we are through with this one, another will be on it’s way. Expecting things to just keep right on rolling as they have, but I am amazed at the power of a day. Life can end, life can stop, your whole world can crumble, in just one day. When I look back at the last 4 days, I have been up and down the emotional roller coaster. I am deeply sadden by a good friends actions, concerned about those I love most and what they are experiencing and the decisions they have to make, and my inability to help or change the course of what is to come. Or so I feel. I don’t want to take my days for granted any longer. Just expecting the next one to roll on by followed by the next and the next. Yesterday I had two prayer meetings, and experience God in both of them, but in very different ways. The first was seeing God move in others around me, and the second was feeling God move in me deep down inside. Tears started to flow and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control them. Due to my foolish pride, I fought to control them; when every thing deep inside me said "let it come, let it out!" But I didn’t. I don’t understand what that was all about, maybe all the stress of what friends and loved ones are going through, or the pain and destruction I see some of the causing! Or was it that I have wanted to feel God in my life again like I used to. Or is it the uncertainty of a day, and what it may bring. Life begins, relationships end, lives are turned upside down, people become damaged and destroyed all in one day, no different than the next.

Something profound happens in me everyday, and for too long I have taken it for granted! A miracle every day!

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is(Y) in Christ, he is(Z) a new creation.[b](AA) The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Lord, help me live this day, as that new creation. Let the peace only you can give come, and wash me as white as snow!
