Let Every Day Be A Brand New Day

Ephesians 4:26-27, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.”

For as long as I can remember in my life, I have lived by the principle that every day is a new day. It doesn't matter how angry I might have been yesterday, today is a new day. That is a smart way to live dear reader. Please don't carry bitterness and anger from one day to the next, because it will destroy you. Bitterness is the only container that eats itself! Life is much too short to live with a burden of hatred.

We should want to forgive and let things go each day. That is the Christian way, the Lord's way. Proverbs 19:11, “The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.” I don't know about you, but I enjoy showing mercy on others.

I feel sorry for the disgruntled wife who harbors bitterness and anger toward her husband for months and even years. All the while, her husband forgave her the very first day, loves her and just wishes that she would come back home where she belongs. By not letting things go each day, all someone does is prolong a bad situation, causing more needless pain.

Dear reader, learn to let your wrath go each sundown. When you wake up the nest day, all should be forgiven and back to normal. Please don't ever carry your anger from one day to the next. I honestly believe that is one reason why God made each day's cycle to be 24 hours. I love astronomy. Here's some astronomy facts to blow your mind, one day on Venus lasts about 243 Earth days, which is longer than its year of 225 Earth days. Venus also rotates in the opposite direction to most planets, so the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Wow! Whereas one of our Earth days is only 24 hours, a day on Venus lasts for 243 days! How would you like to be angry for that long? Reminds me of that guy's wife I mentioned earlier.

Some of the best godly advice I can give you is to let each day pass. Be quick to forgive and shew mercy, and try not to hold grudges. Ephesians 4:29-32, “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”

That is my one consuming thought when it comes to being patient with and forgiving others. We are all horribly wicked sinners in God's sight. If God could forgive a woefully wretched sinner like me, who am so undeserving, I certainly can forgive everyone else who has wronged me along life's journey. It is my privilege and golden opportunity to exemplify my dear Savior, to forgive everyone. That doesn't mean I like those people. It doesn't mean that I'll ever trust them again. It doesn't mean that we're buddies. Nor does it get them off the hook with God, to whom they still have to give account for their evil deeds on Judgment Day (Proverbs 24:12; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 12:36; Romans 12:19-21, 14:10-12; 1st Thessalonians 4:6; James 4:12; Hebrews 4:13).

Psalms 90:12, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Let every day by a brand new day dear friend, and you'll find great joy in the Christian life. Proverbs 4:18, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” I love you all unconditionally with Christ's love.
