Every day is brand new and a brand new day can bring new opportunities or new difficulties.

How will you navigate your way through the day?

The writer of Proverbs (15: 30) offers this suggestion for living a positive life: “A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.”

You can begin today by flashing back to yesterday’s struggles, problems and complaints and allow those things to determine your strategy for today.

Or, you can make a fresh start for yourself, acknowledging what lies before you, but pledging yourself to approaching the day with a positive, “can-do” attitude.

How you approach the day will help you make your way through it. You can rest tonight as a conqueror of the day or a slave to your troubles.

Only you can decide how to proceed, so choose wisely. Pastor Jim.
