I am grateful God continually gives us opportunities to find newness and refreshment. God desires us to find in each day its newness–a day we have never seen before, a day we have never experienced before, a day that is a gift from God; a day that will bring new challenges and new opportunities. We too seldom experience such renewal–too often our days have a certain sameness and routine, even boredom.
Today I see want to see newness! The same activities–or are they? New every morning, new challenges. These are the externals–the core of the renewed life is the newness made possible by our walk with God through Christ–his presence, our communication, our shared commitments, our single purpose, the desire to do only what he wants and only that which brings him glory.
