Luke 2:11- For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
We will start our day depending on how we ended our night. Our mornings are the continuation of the following day. Like the heart, the brain never ceases from its labor. Sleeping is a fancy way of saying, “To be continued.” Even our dreams could be a product of what happened the day before. There is a good reason why the Holy Spirit told Paul to write, “Be angry, and sin not let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” If we go to sleep while angry, or any other of our negative emotions, we will awake with the same. So if I go to sleep while having godly thoughts, I will awake to the same. And once again, my dreams can be greatly affected by my state of mind before I lay me down to go to sleep.
Make it a habit of meditating on a scripture or verse before you go to sleep. While banks shut their doors early, the workers in them are still there closing all the business transactions of the day. So, settle all open accounts at the end of the day: forgive, say your sorry, make up with your spouse, etc. Each day come with the troubles of its own, why bring yesterday’s unfinished business to add to it?
While the world was sleeping (spiritually speaking), Christ was born! It was a New Day! God came to dwell among men. Well, this same Jesus is in every believer. And every day with Jesus is a New Day. If you are a believer remember this and you will have less days, until there is none, waking up moody, with an attitude, or depressed. Everyday Jesus did something new. Shouldn’t we? It’s a New Day, enjoy it!
