A NEW CHAPTER

There are some days when you wake up in the morning and open your eyes and think , same old day , same situation , same hurt, same problem , same misery and same difficulties.
How many of you have ever felt like this being overwhelmed by the events of our being?
A voice within you cries out , “Change this day Lord”

Make it new Lord , Take away the pain , hurt and disappointments . Open up the windows of heaven and let me shower in your burden breaking, yolk destroying anointing.
Words become hopeless when Christ is not attached to that sentence.

King David proclaims in Psalm 27: “The Lord is my light and salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life, whom shall I dread

With every new day , comes worries of its own , however sufficiency for the day is of the Lord.
In every chapter of our life, God is present and he wants to take all the worthless words and rewrite the page with his new chapter. God’s chapter does not eliminate hardship , he proves hardship can be overcome through faith in Jesus. God’s chapter does not erase pain and disappointment ,he turns it into a harvest.
God’s chapter does not exclude storms , he stills it. God’s chapter does not exhibit defeat , he levels out new dispositions of excellence . God’s chapter does not portray defeat , it reflects victory.

Now how many of us today will rather have God write the chapter and we walk the words or we write the chapter and leave our words hopeless.
As with all successes in life, the accomplishment is memorable. Liken to every impossibility , where God’s resources are immeasureable. Most of our memorable achievements along the road of human development, is not quite the linear move from start to finish we imagine it to be. In fact, the journey that would end with a victory has possibly curves of disappointments , corners of hurts , bends with pain and starting points with uncertainty.

The often miry course of human history is similar. I now understand the need for adherence and diligence to a supreme God in the healing process of our personal histories. There is a reason Jesus questions the paralytic by the pool in John chapter 5; we must first want to be well. But thinking of this call for help as being inherently present within everyone of us and leads us back to the ultimate question, 'What is a lifetime?' and 'Why do I live it?'"

Such are the questions we wrestle with in the twists and turns, stops and failures through this journey called life. How incredibly helpful to know there is a reason. God is not merely the God who comes near in the midst of the pain of adolescence or the cries of an adult for understanding; He is the creator of the spirit that leads us to crisis and guides us through certain pains. "." It is the Spirit of God who makes the human mind capable of knowing Him. "You did not choose me," said Jesus, "but I chose you" (John 15:16).

All success is built on previous attempts.Whether our days are marked by victory or crisis, progress or a call to turn around and try again, the Spirit goes with us, reinforcing that God has been there all along.
Discover that there is a new chapter present behind many of the failures we long to forget. There is the Holy Spirit present within the crushed and wounded scenes we try our best to put behind us, There is the restorative hope in discovering the one who created us .The words of the psalmist describe waking to this knowledge: "It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them" (Psalm 44:3). Our days are marked with the intention of one who loves us. Our winding journeys are a means to his glory.
