Oh, what a difference a new pair of lens makes!! Four months ago I gave up my hard contact lens for soft ones; the kind you wear for a month and then discard the old ones for a fresh pair. And this morning is fresh pair morning. I LOVE fresh pair mornings!! Everything looks better through a fresh pair of lens.
And this morning we have all awakened with a ‘fresh pair’ – but we do have to accept them and put them on. Father’s mercies to us this morning are brand new and the canvas on which we paint today is a new one. Choose today’s new canvas; put away yesterday’s and begin NEW today. Paint well today on your new canvas with your ‘fresh pair’!!
Lamentations 3: 22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
24 “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“ Therefore I hope in Him!”
Colossians 4:
4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Yes, ABBA, I pray my brothers and sisters will pray for me that I may know what I ought to speak at any given time today and I pray that for them too; that we all will redeem the time today for Jesus sake. Thank You for the new canvas on which we are to paint today and thank You that a fresh look is available to us today; help us receive it with joy and wear it well today. Many things are on our minds. We have family and friends with deep and varied troubles and we pray for them, for recovery and restoration. We pray for our IDOK Troops, for their protection of mind, body and spirit. We pray for proficiency in the jobs they do today; we pray they will depend upon You to govern and guide each step they take. And Father as odd as it may seem I pray for laughter for them today; that laughter may do them good as a medicine. May it be Lord that every IDOK will have at least a moment of laughter – even in grief and sickness, make it be that they receive from You a moment of laughter. Enlighten us today Lord; forgive America, give us grace and space to repent. We continue to pray for the election so close at hand now. Whatever happens Lord we KNOW You are in control and You know my prayer and the prayer of many others, please don’t give us what has been earned, give us mercy. I pray too for Israel, that America will continue to be their ally. I am so looking forward to the day they come to the Peace You have for them. Bless Your Name, Lord! Blessed be Your Name. We give ourselves, this day, this list of precious souls to YOU and we know You will not fail us. Amen and amen.
