This Is How to Make Necessary Changes In Your Life Today

If you’re anything like me, you have a long list of character traits, disciplines, and habits that you would like to change in your life. As you go through your daily routines, you may notice that some behaviour patterns need to be tweaked in order to create more efficiency. Or you may be very aware of a tendency or two that is negatively affecting those around you; subtly disrespecting your husband, treating your children harshly, or comparing yourself to others.

I recently found myself feeling quite overwhelmed with all the alterations I had to make to mend some holes in the fabric of my life. Being an “all or nothing” kind of person, I determined to make those changes using words in my mind such as, “From now on…” and “I’ll never again…”

But you can probably guess how long those resolutions lasted… about 48 hours, if that! You see, dear friend, when you and I make the bombastic decision that ‘from here on out’ we will change, we are attempting to muster up our own strength, might, and power to accomplish them. And we both know that anything done by our own feeble efforts are temporary at best.

Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.

Zechariah 4:6

This Is How to Make Necessary Changes In Your Life Today

Then, by God’s divine kindness, I realized something.

I only have to change for today!

  • I only need to go to bed earlier today, not for the next 40 years of my life.
  • I just have to serve my family dinner on time today, not till all the children leave home.
  • I can eat no sugar today, not for the rest of my days on earth.

And do you know why today is the only day you need to make those changes? Because your Maker says, “… do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34)

All you were ever meant to focus on was today – not tomorrow, or the day after, or a year from now. Only today! Isn’t that such a huge relief?

Dearest friend, you can do today!

You can implement the tweaks in your life for one day. You can make the decisions you need to make for one day – and one day only!

No matter what your dilemma, your habit, or your situation.

You can do the right thing for one.single.day.

I know you can – because that’s what you were designed to handle. Just one day!

What about tomorrow? Well… here’s the great news!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

Did you hear that? There are wonderous blessings that are new for you each and every single morning, to help and aid you for that new “today!”

A healthy big dose of steadfast love of the Lord with a generous serving of God’s unending mercies, and a limitless helping of your Father’s eternally great faithfulness!!! Those are all waiting to greet you tomorrow morning when you wake up in your cosy bed! And tomorrow will then become your brand new today!

But today – today is the one day, the only day, that you can get through, that you can change, and that you can aim for to get it right – not because you’re trying really, really hard, but because of His Spirit living in you, His steadfast love, mercies, and faithfulness leading you to live for Him – today!

It’s gonna be a good one! 🙂
