Another day...Another Chance

Posted by J. K. Hamilton

Another Day...Another Chance!

Psalm 30:2,3
God, my God, I yelled for help and you put me together. God, you pulled me out of the grave,
gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out.

-The Message bible

There is absolutely nothing that you can do about yesterday. It's gone. Any opportunity you missed...gone. Any person you hurt...done. Any mistake you've made....behind you. Any arguement you've had with your spouse or loved one...finished. Whatever your yesterday contained...it's gone. There is nothing that you can do about yesterday but learn from it. And if you are reading this right now you can be thankful that you have another chance!!! You woke up this morning. Better yet...the Lord woke you up this morning. Why? Certainly not because he owed you another day; but because he loved you enough to give you another chance. A fresh start. What are you going to do with today's chance. You won't have it very long. You don't even have 24 hrs left in this chance, this day. Show the Lord that you're grateful. Take this day and make the best of it. Don't let anyone mess up this chance. If you need forgiveness today because of something you did yesterday...seek it. If you didn't do something yesterday that you were supposed to do...do it. If there was something that you needed to say to someone you love yesterday...say it! If you were not the person you should have been on yesterday...be that person today. Celebrate another chance today. Today is another chance!!! Treat it like your last so that when it becomes your yesterday you have no regrets.

Until next blog,

JK

Bro. Hamilton,

What a mighty mighty word my dear brother. I was beating myself up all day on 6/25/ about a poor decision I made. Instead of realizing that 6/26 would bring enough challenges of its own, I relished in 6/25 and stayed in the moment. I read Psalm 103 paying particularly close attention to how far God's mercy stretches and how great a distance he removes our sins when we seek forgiveness. Nontheless, I, still was not satisfied. I read Another Chance and I now realize I'm not as bad as I though I was. How encouraging this was to my soul. I'm sending it like persons who share in my daily struggle.

PS----How right you were on Sunday, sin does become a well planned STRATEGY when you're densitized.

Tender regards,

Still Kimberly
