"This Is the Day Which The Lord Hath Made (Psa. 118:24)

Thank God for every new day. Make each one a fresh, thankful, enthusiastic beginning. Yesterday's follies, failures, fleshlinesses, weaknesses, time-wastings, area ll gone with the night: analyzed, learned from, repented of; forgiven. Today we try again: to do a little better, to grow a little more mature, to control the flesh more faithfully, to serve God more lovingly, to remember Him ore continuously--out of weakness to grow strong, upon passing sorrow and disappointment to build eternal hope and joy, with prayerful meditation to reach more deeply into everlasting Truth, to discern and set aside, one by one, the myriad follies of the flesh. We are nothing. God is everything. Only the totally self-emptied will He fill. Eschew self-confidence like the plague. It is the world's god, not ours. Do your best continually, knowing it is a puny nothing: but if God is in it, it is one small part of the Eternal Temple that will endure when all else has passed away." ~Search Me O God, p. 78-79
