Not Always the Greatest (original) (raw)

I am so thankful that God gives us a brand new start each day. Have you ever noticed how so often, a day just doesn't go as planned? Or how, no matter how hard you try, it just messes up and doesn't work out right?

A lot of people live under the misconception that Christians live carefree lives. And everyday is a walk through a rose garden. But the fact is that Jesus doesn't take away the trials when He comes into our lives. Rather, He helps us walk through them and guides us through the temptations.

Today has been one of those days for me. It's not that I've done anything wrong. But it seems that no matter how hard I try, I mess up. Our grandfather clock had slowed down about five minutes and I just thought my watch was running fast, so we were late to the nursing home. The setup was awkward with the people way back in the room and the only outlet for the CD player being back in a little corner. Not to mention that I got an itch in my throat halfway through the performance. Lots of little things like that. Are these big trials? No, not at all.

Even though Jesus is in my life, every day isn't necessarily going to be the greatest. But with Him in control, I know that He will help me through the days that aren't so great and give me the strength to move on to the next. Tomorrow's a new day. And God's grace and support continues day after day after day, neverending. God bless you! Be dangerous.
