Word of Hope for Today with PRC
Don't Waste Your Time for Regret
“His mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentation 3:23 NLT
Today’s Insight
Are you living with regret over the time you’ve wasted, the opportunities you’ve squandered, the sins you’ve committed, and the relationships you’ve destroyed? Regret is a waste of time, unless it teaches you wisdom and fuels your resolve to do better next time. And as long as you’re breathing, there will be a “next time.” The Bible describes God this way: “Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” So how should you handle regret? By doing three things:
(1) Recall. Stop and consider the actions, thoughts, and emotions that drove you to do what you did. Take an honest inventory of your mistakes. Own them! There’s no solution in excuses. When Adam was confronted with his sin, he hid in the bushes. When David was confronted with his, he said, “I’m guilty before God.” Follow David’s example.
(2) Repent. The Bible says, “Godly sorrow worketh repentance” (2Co 7:10). When you’re caught in a cycle of repeated sin, a glib “Now I lay me down to sleep” kind of prayer won’t help you. Sin hurts God, hurts you, and hurts others. The idea behind repentance is to get you to where you loathe sin, and decide to renounce and forsake it.
(3) Refocus. One of the Bible’s central themes is “resurrection.” That means you can rise again. God said in His Word, “Forget…what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new” (Isa 43:17-18 TM). It’s a new day with a new opportunity to get your life together and move on to greater things. Don’t waste it looking back in regret!
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word Today. Thank you for giving me insight and courage to face my present life today. Lord thank you for the experiences that I had encountered in my life. I believed that all things are work together for good to those who love God and called according to your purpose. Lord, I have done not good in my life in the past and I have learned the lesson to take care of my health above my job. Lord strengthens me again and empowers me by your Holy Spirit to be thankful for everything happened for my life and to stand strong and refocus my priorities by praying and serving you Lord for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior, In Jesus Name! Amen. If you mean that prayer from the bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word testified in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal Life.
