New Day!

READ: Philippians 3:13

“No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead…” (NLT).

THINK: Thank God, it’s a new day! You can start fresh. Maybe there are things you’d like to correct? Perhaps you were harsh with a friend yesterday, or did something that embarrassed the daylights out of you. Today you can correct this by asking God for forgiveness. Thinking about confessing to God is one thing, but doing it is tough. But that’s where to start. What happened yesterday or the day before has no hold on you once you bring it to God. Once He has forgiven, He does not hold it against you.

During your media fast you have an opportunity to make confession and receive forgiveness. You can forget the past and move on to new things. It’s easy to stay in the past and be upset or feel sorry for yourself. Anyone can do that, but winners forget the past and move forward to new and exciting things.

CHALLENGE: You may struggle with “Would-ah, Could-ah, or Should-ah,” but what will you do? That’s the question. Call on God, confess any sin, correct what you can, and then press on to see what God has for you today!
