Refreshing and Renewing

As I walk the beach each morning and each evening, I noticed that each day the waves were a little different, the sky was a slightly different color, the footprints that were on the beach yesterday were no longer there but the ones that I made just moments before showed me a glimpse of were I had been, but then in a little while they were gone. I thought about this and noticed all of the Sand that had been roughed up by my walking on it and then remembered how by the next day, how smooth it was made by the tide that came in the night.

Lord You have over and over and over again...smoothed out the rough spots in our lives and each new day you have provided for us a fresh start and a new perspective.

Psalm 40:5 says it like this - "You, Lord my God! You’ve done so many things— Your wonderful deeds and your plans for us— no one can compare with You! If I were to proclaim and talk about all of them, they would be too numerous to count!"

Although there's an abundance of Sand, it could no way measure up to the bountiful blessings that you have given unto those who love You...regardless of the rough spots that we've created for ourselves...late in the midnight hour Lord, you have smoothed them all out!!

Today, think on the many new and fresh starts that God has and is providing for you and give Him thanks...THEN MAKE IT COUNT!!! Happy New Day!!
