Each day, I see new glimpses of the Lord's mercy in my life, and it's because of His incredible love that I'm even here. I want to remember to be thankful for this new day and trust in God's faithfulness.
It's so important to start the day by putting God first and holding onto His Word. It's what keeps me grounded, no matter what comes my way.
I know there are plenty of mornings when it's tough to even get out of bed. Sometimes, it's the uncertainty of what the day holds, or maybe I'm already stressing about how I'm going to handle certain problems. But with God's grace and favor, renewed every single morning, I know I can get through anything.
Let's try to start our days by focusing on all the good things we have. It really can change how we see the challenges that lie ahead.

For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Not by works, lest any man should boast.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers.But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper.
