"It's a brand new day"


II Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away, behold all things are become new."

Can you imagine if we never went to sleep? No, really, stop for a moment and ponder on that question. Can you imagine if we never had to sleep? Some of you are thinking about the number of things you would be able to accomplish through out your day, aren't you? That we definitely could do. But I want you to think about one of the benefits of a good nights rest.

One of the benefits of a good nights rest is the fact that when we wake up (most of the time) it is a brand new day. A brand new day, with its own challenges, its own victories, and its own losses. If we never slept or got any rest, we would miss out on that feeling we have when we wake up in the morning to face a new day. Now, I know there are those mornings when we would love to just crawl back in bed and sleep the day away. I'm not talking about one of those mornings.

The Bible says that, "all things are become new" when we get saved. Just like a new day, we have a new outlook on life. We must start looking at our lives differently. Living them only for Him. We have been given a brand new day, let's make the most of it.
